jmeter-smtp-server-plugin

SMTP server plugin for JMeter.

Self contained, pure java SMTP server hosted directly within JMeter. Aligned with the default SMTP sampler, the plugin provides support for various configuration including SMTP auth and TLS.

Removes the requirement of a POP3 or IMPS intermediate server when load testing SMTP receiving.

Ideal for load testing SMTP MITM proxies, the plugin allows for the following setup:

+---------+      +---------+      +---------+
|         |      |         |      |         | 
| JMeter  |      |  SMTP   |      | JMeter  |
|  SMTP   |----->|  Proxy  |----->|  SMTP   |
| sampler |      |         |      | server  |
|         |      |         |      |         |
+---------+      +---------+      +---------+

Note: This plugin currently targets JMeter 5.1 onwards.
