Re: [msmtp-users] Socks5 and msmtp

Bastardizing library calls with LD_PRELOAD only works
with dynamically compiled binaries. When your msmtp
or other app is statically compiled, it's useless.

LD_PRELOAD games are also subject to overloading
upon each other, require third party tools, and can
run up against API issues too I think.

Similar things can be said for chaining to msmtp external
proxy/socat-like tools regarding complexity/configuration.

A native implementation internal to msmtp is would be
better overall solution :)
