go-smtp-source

go-smtp-source

go-smtp-source is a simple drop-in replacement for smtp-source in Postfix distribution written in Go

Motivation

I want to add some feature to smtp-source. I don't want to go with C because we have Go.

Features (including TODOs)

go-smtp-source does not providea all features that smtp-source provided but it has some additional feature.

• ✔ STARTTLS support
• 🚧 Precious time metrics support (smtp-source does not provide elasped time. We need to use time with smtp-source.)
• 🚧 Clustering support for distributed load testing

See smtp-source(1) about original smtp-source.

Bench

go-smtp-source should be performant. I measured the performance for go-smtp-source and smtp-source against smtp-sink with sending 10000 messages.

docker compose build
docker compose up -d sink
docker compose run --rm bench
Start sending 10000 messages... (GOMAXPROCS=default)

Test

To confirm the delivery result, you can run bench_check.sh instead.

docker compose build
docker compose up -d sink
docker compose run --rm bench /root/bench_check.sh

Installation

Download from releases.

Or

go get -u github.com/nabeken/go-smtp-source

Usage

Send 100 messages in 10 concurrency to SMTP server running on 127.0.0.1:10025 over TLS.

smtp-sink

smtp-sink(1) is a good friend for benchmarking {go-,}smtp-source.
