If you are trying to simulate a very busy mailserver, then you should
be concerned about connections to it from multiple hosts per second
most sending one or a few messages and a realistic test would have to
have a nominal TCP RTT in the range of a few to a few 10s of msec
since the speed of light is limited and geographic delays come into
play.  I've been involved in testing and some simulation of this type
but on routers and various switchy-thingies rather than mailservers.
