Code

One may think that this is a great script for flooding someone with spam but this script is actually very useful when you need to stress test a new mail server. It is important to have the ability to fill mail boxes with emails that have random subjects, names and "from" so that you can test the sorting options of the mail box. Sorting is usually a heavy task on the mail server (in exchange for example) and if you fill a mail box with thousands of random emails you cause the mail server to work hard on sorting.
