[issue29687] smtplib does not support proxy

[Christian Heimes]

Christian Heimes <lists at cheimes.de> added the comment:

The Python standard library has no builtin support for socks proxy. I suggest that you report issues with socks library to the author of the package.

By the way the smptlib makes it really easy to override the socket object with a custom implementation:

class SocksSMTP(smtplib.SMTP):
    def _get_socket(self, host, port, timeout):
        return some_socket_like_object(...)
