New submission from Rares Vernica: smtplib does not support connections through a proxy. The accepted workaround is something like:
``` import smtplib import socks socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS4, proxy_host, proxy_port) socks.wrapmodule(smtplib) smtp = smtplib.SMTP() ``` The side-effects of `socks.wrapmodule` impact other libraries which don't need to use the proxy, like `requests`.
