Re: [msmtp-users] How can "msmtp" send emails via host proxy?

Hi Matus,

Firstly, thanks very much for your answer!

I download and update the newest msmtp(v1.6.2), and update the .msmtprc configure file

(Add proxy and logfile):

tls on

tls_certcheck off

host smtp.gmail.com

port 587

proxy_host xxxxxxxx.com

proxy_port 8080

from xxxxxx@...20...

user xxxxxx

password xxxxxxxx

auth on

logfile -

timeout 45

Then I retry msmtp command, and the final error is like this:

msmtp: network read error: the operation timed out

msmtp: could not send mail (account default from /root/.msmtprc)

Aug 20 04:45:56 host=smtp.gmail.com tls=on auth=on user=xxxxxx from=xxxxxx@...20... recipients=xxxxxx@...415... errormsg='network read error: the operation timed out' exitcode=EX_IOERR

From the capture packet, it seems the after establishing TCP connection, the msmtp

will not send the content.

The attachment is the capture packet.

If possible, could you help me to check it? Thanks very much in advance!

Best Regards

Nan Xiao

msmtp since 1.6.0 supports SOCKS proxy.

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)?

Can you connect directly?
