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
