# The benchmarks/smtp-benchmark port

## smtp-benchmark-1.0.4p2 – SMTP benchmark to measure throughput of an MTA

## Description

    smtp-benchmark consists of two programs, smtpsend and smtpsink.
    Whereas smtpsend is used to send generated e-mail messages using SMTP
    to a mail transfer agent, smtpsink is designed to dispose of received
    messages as quick as possible.

    smtpsend measures the time spent sending e-mails and the number
    of e-mails actually sent and outputs statistics after the program
    run.

    smtpsend can fork one or more parallel senders each using one or more
    sequential connections to a SMTP server to deliver one or more
    messages per connection.

    smtpsink comes in handy when the relaying performance of a MTA is
    to be measured.
