+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+\fBsmtp\-source\fR connects to the named \fIhost\fR and TCP \fIport\fR
+(default: port 25)
+and sends one or more messages to it, either sequentially
+or in parallel. The program speaks either SMTP (default) or
+LMTP.
+Connections can be made to UNIX\-domain and IPv4 or IPv6 servers.
+IPv4 and IPv6 are the default.
+
+Note: this is an unsupported test program. No attempt is made
+to maintain compatibility between successive versions.
+
+Arguments:
+.IP \fB\-4\fR
+Connect to the server with IPv4. This option has no effect when
+Postfix is built without IPv6 support.
+.IP \fB\-6\fR
+Connect to the server with IPv6. This option is not available when
+Postfix is built without IPv6 support.
+.IP "\fB\-A\fR"
+Don't abort when the server sends something other than the
+expected positive reply code.
+.IP \fB\-c\fR
+Display a running counter that is incremented each time
+an SMTP DATA command completes.
+.IP "\fB\-C \fIcount\fR"
+When a host sends RESET instead of SYN|ACK, try \fIcount\fR times
+before giving up. The default count is 1. Specify a larger count in
+order to work around a problem with TCP/IP stacks that send RESET
+when the listen queue is full.
+.IP \fB\-d\fR
+Don't disconnect after sending a message; send the next
+message over the same connection.
+.IP "\fB\-f \fIfrom\fR"
+Use the specified sender address (default: <foo@myhostname>).
+.IP "\fB\-F \fIfile\fR"
+Send the pre\-formatted message header and body in the
+specified \fIfile\fR, while prepending '.' before lines that
+begin with '.', and while appending CRLF after each line.
+.IP "\fB\-l \fIlength\fR"
+Send \fIlength\fR bytes as message payload. The length does not
+include message headers.
+.IP \fB\-L\fR
+Speak LMTP rather than SMTP.
+.IP "\fB\-m \fImessage_count\fR"
+Send the specified number of messages (default: 1).
+.IP "\fB\-M \fImyhostname\fR"
+Use the specified hostname or [address] in the HELO command
+and in the default sender and recipient addresses, instead
+of the machine hostname.
+.IP "\fB\-N\fR"
+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 daemon, better approximating Postfix
+performance under real\-life work\-loads.
+.IP \fB\-o\fR
+Old mode: don't send HELO, and don't send message headers.
+.IP "\fB\-r \fIrecipient_count\fR"
+Send the specified number of recipients per transaction (default: 1).
+Recipient names are generated by prepending a number to the
+recipient address.
+.IP "\fB\-R \fIinterval\fR"
+Wait for a random period of time 0 <= n <= interval between messages.
+Suspending one thread does not affect other delivery threads.
+.IP "\fB\-s \fIsession_count\fR"
+Run the specified number of SMTP sessions in parallel (default: 1).
+.IP "\fB\-S \fIsubject\fR"
+Send mail with the named subject line (default: none).
+.IP "\fB\-t \fIto\fR"
+Use the specified recipient address (default: <foo@myhostname>).
+.IP "\fB\-T \fIwindowsize\fR"
+Override the default TCP window size. To work around
+broken TCP window scaling implementations, specify a
+value > 0 and < 65536.
+.IP \fB\-v\fR
+Make the program more verbose, for debugging purposes.
+.IP "\fB\-w \fIinterval\fR"
+Wait a fixed time between messages.
+Suspending one thread does not affect other delivery threads.
+.IP [\fBinet:\fR]\fIhost\fR[:\fIport\fR]
+Connect via TCP to host \fIhost\fR, port \fIport\fR. The default
+port is \fBsmtp\fR.
+.IP \fBunix:\fIpathname\fR
+Connect to the UNIX\-domain socket at \fIpathname\fR.
