The Postal project includes three programs aimed at benchmarking mail server performance. The main program, postal, sends email messages to a specified list of destination addresses at a specified rate.

For example, you can use postal to tell you whether switching to a different IMAP server will allow you to deliver more messages per second on the same hardware.
