Have everyone on this list forward their high scoring spam to you?  ;)

Just kidding.

Subject: automated mail server stress testing?

Just wondering if there are any programs/scripts/whatever that can put
an artificial high load on our new server so we can see if anything
breaks *before* we start moving real users to this new box.

Ideally, I'd like to create a hundred or so (fake) users, then hit this
box with ridiculous amounts of mail (and artificial spam/viruses too) so
we can make sure it handles the load without breaking, doesn't let
viruses through, etc.

Anyone aware of an automated server stress tester such as this?

Thanks,
Chris
