hello all-
I've just recently completed an install of a new mailserver running qmail.
I've got some other linux boxes laying around, and I would like to load test
the mailserver over the weekend. Does anyone have suggestions for software
or scripts, perhaps using perl or expect, that will connect to the smtp port
remotely, send some mail to x users, wait a bit, and connect to the pop
port, check the mail for those users, and then delete it? I coded some
perl/expect hybrid script to do it, but it doesn't work right (I used
autoexpect, so I'm not surprised). Any suggestions? Last time I did this I
ended up just perl scripting a call to qmail-inject for 4 different users,
and setting up a normal pop client to check mail every 1 minute. The client
crashed and the sends didn't actually use the smtp port though so it wasn't
a real test.
Thanks in advance,
Brian
