Can't get mail delivery failure? Try this SMTP proxy IP configuration

Recently, a number of friends complained to me that using email clients to send mass notifications are always intercepted by the platform, or the sending speed is as slow as a snail. Here to teach you a wild way--Hook up SMTP to a proxy IPThis method is especially suitable for teams that need to send bulk mail and are not comfortable with building their own servers. This method is particularly suitable for the need to send bulk mail and not convenient to build their own server team, we use ipipgo's residential agent to practice demonstration.

Why do I have to use a proxy IP to send email?

Now the mail service providers are very fine, the same IP high-frequency mail directly to your blacklist. Last year, a friend doing e-commerce, using enterprise mailboxes to send 500 promotional emails a day, the results of the third week of the entire domain name are marked as spam. Later, he switched to a dynamic residential proxy.Automatic IP switching for every 20 emails, the survival rate pulls right above 90%.

Handy Configuration Guide

Here's an example of ipipgo's Socks5 proxy, their client supportsAutomatic switching of export IPsIt is much easier than extracting with API. First, download the client from the official website, log in and select "Residential Agent" - "Create Tunnel":

Remember to hang a proxy when using smtplib to send a message, this code template take it and change it to work:

import smtplib
import socks

socks.set_default_proxy(socks.SOCKS5, "proxy.ipipgo.com", 30001)
socks.wrapmodule(smtplib)

server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.xxx.com', 587)
server.starttls()
server.login("your@email.com", "password")
 Normal sending logic...

Pitfall Warning.

Three common mistakes newbies make:
1. Clients not closedLocal DNS resolutionThis causes IP masquerading to be ineffective
2. Messages sent using data center agents, identified as machine traffic
3. Sending more than 50 consecutive letters from the same IP will trigger the wind control mechanism.
