Hi all,
I am setting up a test environment where I want to automate randomly
generated emails to a new spam analysis system. I am looking at using Perl
to create a simple environment where I have the following components:
1) Randomly generated Mail From and Rcpt to addresses.
2) Randomly generated subject and body
3) A kickoff time where the script starts and stops=8Bpreferably setup throug=
h
crontab?
Are there any good articles out there or references to lookup on how to
create a simple script that could do the above? I am not asking for someone
to write this for me, but rather suggestions on modules or resources that
are good to read up on for automation.
Currently, I have a script using modules Net::SMTP, Email::Date::Format, an=
d
String Random. The script has static mail from, rcpt to, subject, and body
parts while sending a predetermined number of emails.
Thanks,
--Ryan

Check out the Data::Random
module<http://search.cpan.org/~adeo/Data-Random-0.05/Random.pm>. It
generates random gibberish and can vary the size (number of words) in each
record.
