I know the feeling - I have the coffee no, but have not got to the
ingestion stage :-)
I've been wondering about sketching out the required test environment in
terms of services/hosts requirements - for example it needs:-
* DNS services including DNSBL
* SMTP - to receive messages from exim, callback checks etc
* SMTP sender - something needs to send mail to exim :-)
* Databases - lots of possibilities there... Can we just check
the lookup mechanisms work and then not worry about further
tests (unless it needs to be r/w)
* Ident
* "Good" host sender - not on RBL
* "Bad" host sender - on RBLs etc
* Broken SMTP senders (no HELO, broken HELO, broken sender, SPAM
pump and dump (ie just send all commands in one block) etc
