smtpscript is a tool to write SMTP scenarios and easily implement regression tests for SMTP server-side implementations.
A smtpscript will look like:
# this is a function init-helo that we want to call in all our regress tests
proc init-helo {
expect smtp ok
writeln "HELO regress"
expect smtp helo
}
# each of the test-case will be called sequentially
test-case name "mailfrom.empty" {
call init-helo
writeln "MAIL FROM:<>"
expect smtp ok
}
test-case name "mailfrom.broken" {
call init-helo
writeln "MAIL FROM:< @bleh>"
expect smtp permfail
}
which once executed, produces the output:
$ smtpscript foo
===> running test-case "mailfrom.empty" ok
===> running test-case "mailfrom.broken" ok
===> all run
passed: 2/2 (skipped: 0, failed: 0, error: 0)
$
The scripting language also supports TLS, randomization and loops, so fairly complex scenarios can be achieved.
