[msmtp-users] Socks5 and msmtp

[grarpamp <grarpamp@...20...>]

Hey all! Been using msmtp for a while, pretty cool :)

Now I'm in a new situation where having an option
to send ALL of msmtp's traffic via a SOCKSv5 server
would be immensely useful.

I check and grep entire source code for 'socks'
insensitive and there was no result :(

So I guess this is a formal request to add that. I'm not
sure if there is a ticket system to lodge enhancements?
I dont think it would be much work.

Note also in addition to TCP, DNS should be sent via
SOCKSv5 as well... at least in the form of connect
requests. This way there are NO traffic leaks of any kind
when using the SOCKSv5 runtime config option.

Seems a new option like:
--socksv5-host=host:port
would work fine. And the matching config file
statement would be needed as well.

Though v5 is more important initially (IPv4, IPv6, DNS), both
v4a and v5 could be implemented. Then use:
--socks-host=host:port
--socks-version=4a|5

With each definition in the config file able to use
either (version) or none (no proxy) as usual to other
config params do.

Any other ideas or usage bits for this?
Thanks :)
