Abstract
This article proposes a method of fuzz testing mail services based on an intelligent input parameter mutation, which is applicable not only to standard email protocols but also to their extended versions. The research examines the main extensions of POP, IMAP, and SMTP protocols. The described method was applied in laboratory conditions to evaluate its effectiveness compared to traditional fuzz testing methods. The results confirmed the possibility of using the method for fuzz testing not only email clients but also servers. Further research is planned to create intelligent methods for evaluating testing coverage in the absence of prior instrumentation of email client and server source code.
