Are you running out of request processors (<Connector> maxThreads) or
are you running out of database connections (<Resource> maxActive)?

I'm not sure the email volume has anything to do with the resource
availability, other than an email may intise someone to go to your
site, which will (temporarily) use up a request processor thread and
(possibly) a database connection.

Yes: log the timestamp of each access, then use one of the many fine
web server analysis tools to get a picture (literally) of your volume.

JMeter is used virtually the same way in all environments: only you
understand the nuances of your own software and can craft a load test
that is appropriate for your application.
