Sample IMAPtest Tests¶
Functional Testing¶
Simple imaptest to cover the basics:
timeout 10s imaptest pass=supersecret host=127.0.0.1 mbox=testmbox.sm40k user=testuser1 Fetch2=100 store=100 delete=100 expunge=100 clients=1
Check the output for errors.
Verify that messages exist in INBOX:
doveadm mailbox status -u testuser1 all INBOX
Copy a message with doveadm:
doveadm copy -u testuser1 Trash mailbox INBOX 1
Copy messages with imaptest:
imaptest pass=supersecret host=127.0.0.1 mbox=testmbox.sm40k user=testuser1 copybox=Trash
Move a message:
doveadm move -u testuser1 Trash mailbox INBOX 1
Performance Testing:¶
Test rapid delivery of lots of messages via IMAP APPEND (100k test users)
imaptest - user=testuser%d pass=testpass mbox=testmbox append=100,0 logout=0 users=100000 clients=500 msgs=100000 no_pipelining secs=10
Test rapid delivery of lots of messages via LMTP (Useful for Scality CDMI, where an LMTP request takes 2 PUTs and IMAP APPEND takes 3 PUTs)
imaptest profile=imaptest.profile mbox=testmbox secs=10
imaptest.profile:¶
lmtp_port = 24
lmtp_max_parallel_count = 500 # Set to ~50-60% of total_user_count
total_user_count = 800
rampup_time = 0s
user lmtptest {
username_format = testuser%n
count = 100%
mail_inbox_delivery_interval = 1s
mail_spam_delivery_interval = 0
mail_action_delay = 0
mail_action_repeat_delay = 0
mail_session_length = 0
mail_send_interval = 0

}
client lmtponly {
count = 100%
}
Load Testing:¶
1h mixed test against proxy (10.41.1.135) with 2m users and 200 clients:
timeout 1h imaptest pass=testpassword host=10.41.1.135 mbox=testmbox user=testuser%d users=1-2000000 Fetch2=100 store=100 delete=90 expunge=100 clients=200
8hr mixed test with 2m users; generally this would be run against multiple proxies (host=proxy ip) from multiple imaptest nodes.
timeout 8h imaptest pass=testpassword host=127.0.0.1 mbox=testmbox user=testuser%d users=1-2000000 Fetch2=100 store=100 delete=90 expunge=100 clients=100
POP3 + LMTP test with profile¶
imaptest pass=testpassword mbox=testmbox.sm40k profile=pop3_2m_profile.conf no_tracking clients=10000
pop3_2m_profile.conf¶
lmtp_port = 24
lmtp_max_parallel_count = 1800
total_user_count = 2000000
rampup_time = 600s
user pop3 {
username_format = testuser%7n
username_start_index = 1
count = 100%
mail_inbox_delivery_interval = 1h
mail_spam_delivery_interval = 0
mail_action_delay = 30s
mail_action_repeat_delay = 1s
}
client pop3 {
count = 70%
connection_max_count = 1

}
To generate read load (BODY FETCHs):¶
imaptest - user=terra.29.%d select=100 fetch2=100,0 logout=0 clients=10 msgs=100000 no_pipelining users=400 no_tracking
To avoid out-of-socket issues when connecting to local HAproxy instance, spread load between multiple local IP addresses to hit HAproxy, e.g.:
obox_fs = scality:http://127.0.%4Hu.1:8080/?timeout_msecs=30000&addhdr=X-Dovecot-Hash:%2Mu/%2.3Mu&bulk_delete=1
