FWIW, i doubt you can proxy a SMTP host ... so, unless host-41.234.207.20.tedata.net is your e-mail server, or an e-mail server that TE Data has allowed you to use, you can not use it.
i'm guessing that, assuming you have an e-mail account with TE Data, you simply need to speciify something like smtp.tedata.net as your e-mail host, plus your e-mail account id, plus your e-mail account password.

Many thanks for your response. I am developing an application that will send out millions of mails as part of an email campaign. So if I send from the same IP always, I might get listed as SPAM. Ideally I plan to use proxies listed in http://www.proxyfire.net on
a random basis.
Is this possible? If not what can I do to overcome this?
Mifla, if you do not have permission from the recipients to send these e-mails, there is a good chance that what your are sending will get classified as spam, a.k.a. UCE ... unsolicited commercial e-mail.
Bad things can and likely will happen to you.
Example:
a customer of mine has pre-qualifed business clients ... his clients have consented in advance to receive annoucements from my customer about product upgrades ... one of his pre-qualifed business clients forget their agreement and complained to my customer's
isp ... that isp blocked my customer's internet access without even contacting my customer first.
MORE INFORMATION
Mifla, learn how e-mail works ... quick, very simplified summary ...
your computer (client) ==> your smtp server ==> MTA ==> MTA ==> recipient's POP server ===> recipient
Also, the recipients' computers will likely block your e-mails.
Mifla, perhaps you can share with us why your millions of e-mails are not spam?
g.
P.S.: if a site like proxyfire.net is giving you ip addresses of open, unprotected SMTP servers, it is highly likely that those open servers are already blocked ( i could be wrong ).
Mifla, to use any SMTP server, you need to know what that server requires in order for you to use it.
For example, i can not use my isp's server unless i provide both an account and a valid password for that account.

send mails using a proxy server
Mar 31, 2012 01:12 PM|LINK
Hi All,
I would like to send mails using a proxy server.I'm using System.Net.Mail to send mails.
Would adding the following settings do?
<defaultProxy enabled="true">
<proxy proxyaddress="41.234.207.20"/>
</defaultProxy>
Your response is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Mifla

@ miflamashoodja
Mifla, i do not understand your question, so i need to ask you more information.
41.234.207.20 pings, so it's a live computer; ip2location shows it's in Egypt; ip2location and nslookup both show tedata.net.
http://www.tedata.net/eg/en/About-Us/About-Corporate shows that TE Data is Telecom Egypt,.
Questions:
is TEDATA your internet service provider?
is host-41.234.207.20.tedata.net (41.234.207.20) an e-mail server?
Note: AFAIK, you can not in c# proxy any e-mail server; i could be wrong.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.configuration.proxyelement.proxyaddress.aspx
<div> <div class="summary">"Gets and sets the URI that identifies the ==> Web <== proxy server to use."
</div> </div>System.Net.Mail requires that you specify a SMTP host.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.mail.smtpclient.host.aspx
FWIW, i doubt you can proxy a SMTP host ... so, unless host-41.234.207.20.tedata.net is your e-mail server, or an e-mail server that TE Data has allowed you to use, you can not use it.
i'm guessing that, assuming you have an e-mail account with TE Data, you simply need to speciify something like smtp.tedata.net as your e-mail host, plus your e-mail account id, plus your e-mail account password.

Chances are good that your millions of e-mails will be detected and blocked by a well managed MTA.
see, for example: http://www.seaglass.com/postfix/spam-detection.html
Also, the recipients' computers will likely block your e-mails.
