PERFORMANCE
During each iteration, the script checks for and retrieves POP3 messages. When sending messages, each user sends a mail message to NumMessageRecipients not more than once every 20 minutes. Twenty percent of the users receive eighty percent of the send mail messages. The SMTP messages sent by each user are delivered to the mail databases of other users on the SUT.
Metrics
The measurements obtained by this test are:
Note You can review the SMTP and POP3 Workload script.
Hardware considerations
The following hard disk requirements apply to the SUT and, during some tests, to the destination systems that receive mail from the SUT:
1. To minimize environment troubleshooting, put IP information -- for example, host information -- in the \etc\hosts file or its equivalent on the SUT and driver directories.
2. If authentication errors occur on the IBM® Lotus® Domino® server console, verify the password in the HTTP field of the respective user's Person document in the SUT's Domino Directory; edit the Domino Directory if necessary.
3. From the SUT console, enter this command to display additional routing information:
1. Make sure that you already completed the procedure to run the SMTP and POP3 Initialization workload.
2. Run the "Create NotesBench Mail Person Documents" agent to create the desired number of Person documents in the IBM® Lotus® Domino® Directory.
3. On the Domino Administrator client, start Server.Load.
4. In the Test Type field, choose Built-In, and then choose SMTP and POP3 Workload from the list.
5. Click the Test Parameters tab. If you are running the test on multiple clients, increment the value of the Starting Thread No. parameter when you run the test on each client.
6. Click the Script Variables tab, and enter these values:
8. Click Execute.
9. (Optional) Select metrics to monitor.
10. (Optional) In the "Server to receive console commands" field, enter the name of the SUT.
11. Click Start Test.
