You can also try Xstress http://xstress.sourceforge.net/ although you will have to compile it from the source code.

From their Readme:

xstress is an SMTP Stress Testing Tool. Essentially xstress creates multiple connections to (your) mail server and sends multiple mails repeatedly over all connections.
