System Tests: Performance Test

Performance Test

The Performance Test analyzes the performance of PureMessage by emulating a static number of mail clients over a predefined time period. The results of the test provide an indication of PureMessage, and, optionally, Sendmail throughput, in the form of the number of messages processed per minute.

  • Number of Concurrent Mail Clients: Specify the number of clients you wish the test to emulate.
  • Total Test Time: Specify the number of seconds the test should run.
  • Send messages directly to PureMessage milter: If this option is selected, the test messages will only be processed by PureMessage. To test both PureMessage and sendmail, select Send Messages through Sendmail.
    • Milter Name: If more than one milter is configured, select the milter that should be used in the test.
  • Send Messages through Sendmail: If this option is selected, messages will be sent via Sendmail, and the items below will need to be configured.
    • Sendmail Host: Specify the name of the host where sendmail is running.
    • Sendmail Port: Specify the port number on the host where sendmail is listening.
    • User Account: Enter a valid email address to which the test messages will be sent.
    • Sender's Address: Enter a valid email address from which the test messages will be sent.
