Recently, there was a mail that a module called Test::SMTP was released
on CPAN. Maybe that could be useful for you? I haven't had a deeper look
at it myself, though.
I'm Test::SMTP author. Test::SMTP will let you be sure that your SMTP
transactions happen like you wanted them to. At certain loads, qp
plugins may not be able to connect to a db, to another server, etc, and
return temporary or permanent errors, being valid SMTP transactions, and
giving you "false" results.
Write one Test::SMTP test for every type of SMTP transaction you want to
simulate. Then try to wrap your tests with
http://search.cpan.org/~dlux/Parallel-ForkManager-0.7.5/ForkManager.pm.
You will know if the individual tests went OK via their exit code.
I was about to take this approach for testing load on our servers, and
releasing it as a module. Test::Parallel (or something like that). That
module would act capturing all it's childs test outputs, summing the
number of tests, and returning valid TAP output. I don't have a schedule
for it, though, so, maybe you can have a go at it.
