Duh! The real reason I resurrected this thread was to see if anyone had
any benchmarking software recommendations for an MTA. I want to
slam^H^H^H^Htest the new mail server before I start putting accounts on it.
I accidentally stress-tested this machine's predecessor by sending
15,000 mails in a 25 minute period [when I fixed a long-standing
misconfiguration on another machine]. It held up fine.
Any recommendations, or do I get to invent one?
