This repository holds a set of tools and sample data used to stress tests an email account.
You need to create the options.cfg file from which the batch mail sender will
read the email accounts to use. You can copy the options.cfg.demo as a
template.
NOTE: the file options.cfg is ignored by git.
[Credentials]
account = [email protected]
password = this_is_the_gmail_account_password
[Configs]
mails_amount = 100
to = [email protected]
NOTE: to use gmail as sender account you need to 'allow less secure apps' (see https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255)
To send a batch of mails just run the send-mail-batch.py script. It will send
the batch using the information found in the options.cfg file (mails_amount
mails to to from from)
To send mail strings as you found them in the source of an email you can use
the send-mail-strings.py script.
It will read the emails/ folder and send each file content as a separate
email using its contents as the source.
This script espects to have the {FROM} and {TO} strings within those files
in order to set the sender and receiver for the emails.
This will send just one batch of emails (as many emails as you have in the
emails/ folder).
The swaks-batch.sh script uses the swaks tool (see
http://www.jetmore.org/john/code/swaks/) to send emails specifying the data
needed in the command line. There is a line for each special case that we want
to test for an email account.
This script reads the to field from the options.cfg file.
