At work, we are load testing a number of different mail servers. I need to |
2 |
send large amounts of mail through the boxes as part of this. To get rid |
3 |
of the mail, I'd like to have a Gentoo box running exim or another MTA on |
4 |
the end of the chain that does two very simple things: |
5 |
|
6 |
* Accepts any and all mail that is sent to it, regardless of domain, |
7 |
recipient, etc. |
8 |
* Delivers all mail to /dev/null |
9 |
|

This needs to happen as fast as possible. Ideally, I'd like to prevent the |
11 |
mail from ever touching the disk for speed reasons, but if that's not |
12 |
possible through the MTA, I can accomplish the same thing by putting the |
13 |
spool on a RAM disk. |
14 |
|

Is this easy enough to set up? Any sample configuration files I can crib |
16 |
from? |

Thanks. |

P.S. if there's another way of accomplishing the same thing, please let me |
23 |
know. It is important, however, that the black hole actually have an SMTP |
24 |
conversation with the sending server. I can't just route all traffic to |
25 |
port 25 to /dev/null. |
