msmtp since 1.6.0 supports SOCKS proxy.

and I have set proxies in the environment variables:
export http_proxy="http://xxxxxxxx.com:8080/";
export https_proxy="https://xxxxxxxx.com:8080/";

Why should you use HTTP proxy for connecting to SMTP server?
Does even your HTTP proxy allow connecting to SMTP (and let you send spam
through the proxy)?

From the capture packet:
22:59:13.614187 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 41982, offset 0, flags [DF], proto
TCP (6), length 60)
   xx.xx.xx.xx.40999 > 64.233.178.109.submission: Flags [S], cksum 0xf96a
(incorrect -> 0x50ed), seq 157522949,

I can see the  "msmtp" send email to gmail server directly, not via the
proxy. So how can "msmtp" send
email via host proxy?

Can you connect directly?
