SMTP Load Testing
Measuring throughput and stability of mail systems: load generators such as smtp-source, test setup, traceable test runs, and evaluating the results.
SMTP Load Testing with Numbered Recipients: Send Every Email Traceably
A load test is only as good as its evaluation. With the -N option, smtp-source numbers every email via the recipient address without sacrificing throughput. Learn how to structure the run, how many sessions make sense, and how to automatically find missing numbers.
smtp-source without installing Postfix: Extract load-testing tools from the RPM
smtp-source and smtp-sink are part of Postfix, but they also run without an installed mail server. Learn how to extract the two tools from the package on RHEL, why running them from /tmp can fail because of the noexec mount option, and which libraries need to be included.
