smtp-source8postfix
Multi-threaded smtp/lmtp test generator
Usage
smtp-source [options]
[inet:]
host
[:port]
smtp-source [options]
unix:pathname
Overview
smtp-source connects to the named host and TCP port (default: port 25) and sends one or more messages to it, either sequentially or in parallel. The program speaks either SMTP (default) or LMTP. Connections can be made to UNIX-domain and IPV4 servers. IPV4 is the default.
Arguments:
-
-c -
Display a running counter that is incremented each time an SMTP DATA command completes.
-
-C count -
When a host sends RESET instead of SYN|ACK, try count times before giving up. The default count is 1. Specify a larger count in order to work around a problem with TCP/IP stacks that send RESET when the listen queue is full.
-
-d -
Don't disconnect after sending a message; send the next message over the same connection.
-
-f from -
Use the specified sender address (default: <foo@myhostname>).
-
-o -
Old mode: don't send HELO, and don't send message headers.
-
-l length -
Send length bytes as message payload. The length does not include message headers.
-
-L -
Speak LMTP rather than SMTP.
-
-m message_count -
Send the specified number of messages (default: 1).
-
-r recipient_count -
Send the specified number of recipients per transaction (default: 1). Recipient names are generated by prepending a number to the recipient address.
-
-s session_count -
Run the specified number of SMTP sessions in parallel (default: 1).
-
-S subject -
Send mail with the named subject line (default: none).
-
-t to -
Use the specified recipient address (default: <foo@myhostname>).
-
-R interval -
Wait for a random period of time 0 <= n <= interval between messages. Suspending one thread does not affect other delivery threads.
-
-w interval -
Wait a fixed time between messages. Suspending one thread does not affect other delivery threads.
