Email Behavioral Overload & Monitoring Benchmark (E.B.O.M.B.)

EBOMB (email Behavioral Overload and Monitoring Benchmark) is an open-source benchmarking tool designed to evaluate email server resilience, inbox rate-limiting, and spam filtering behaviors under synthetic high-volume load.

The tool automates incoming subscription request flows to help system administrators, QA engineers, and security auditors measure how mail infrastructure behaves under traffic spikes and concurrent delivery stress.

⚠️ Disclaimer: This software is intended strictly for authorized security auditing, benchmarking, and load testing of infrastructure you own or have explicit written permission to test. Unauthorized automated traffic generation against third-party services is strictly prohibited.

Core Capabilities

Inbound Load Benchmarking: Simulates concurrent subscription requests across configurable endpoints to test queue handling and buffer limits.
Filter Behavior Analysis: Evaluates spam filter classification accuracy (e.g., SpamAssassin, Rspamd) when subject to automated request flows.
Multi-threaded Execution: Utilizes configurable thread pools (multiprocessing.dummy.ThreadPool) for scalable concurrency testing.
Network & Proxy Support: Includes optional SOCKS5 proxy rotation (including Tor support) to simulate distributed client traffic patterns.

Installation

pip install -U ebomb
