Use the specified hostname or [address] in the HELO command and
in the default sender and recipient addresses, instead of the
machine hostname.
- <b>-N</b> Prepend a non-repeating sequence number to each recipient
- address. This avoids the artificial 100% hit rate in the resolve
- and rewrite client caches and exercises the trivial-rewrite dae-
- mon, better approximating Postfix performance under real-life
- work-loads.
+ <b>-N</b> Generate each recipient address by appending a number (a

+ Note: to use the number as an address extension, specify an
