Masking IP through proxies

[soulmaster01]

I scrape http proxies , check which support tunneling using CONNECT and send my request to SMTP server. This was for the sole purpose of masking my IP (because of high volume of requests , of coarse).
However, you can still see my public IP from the mail's headers , meaning my attempt was unsuccessful.
Is there any other way to mask IP while sending a SMTP type request?
I did a bit of searching , and as I can see , socks5 type proxies are the perfect match for anonimity+SMTP type of connection , however , they are expensive , considering how many of them I need.

Thanks.

It looks like the proxies didn’t work as you hoped to hide your IP. You might want to check out services that specialize in email privacy—they could be cheaper but still keep your IP hidden. Another option is to try rotating proxies, depending on what you're looking for. It’s all about finding the right balance between privacy and cost. You could also reach out to providers in the marketplace and ask for a test to see what works best for you.

Either the tools you used to apply the proxies failed or the proxies themselves might not be up to the task or are experiencing issues. Hard to say for sure exactly with limited info. You're going to want to use mobile proxies with IP rotation, if you don't already for that sort of thing. Plus maybe evaluate your tools for efficacy. There's sites like Pixelscan which you can check your connection on before going in on it. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply.
I’ve been using this approach - scraping public http proxies , checking which one supports ”tunneling” (not sure about exact usage ,i just know that it’s the only way to send smtp request from http based proxy) and if they do support it , i send the request to the smtp. As far as I know , it’s not the regular usage of proxies , so this could be the reason , why the outcome is different (proxy ip not even mentioned in mail headers). another reason is what you mentioned - my miscfigured script - i just didn’t think to check if proxy really worked , using third party. i just assumed , that if it let me connect and even send a request , then it worked. could you specify , why mobile ips specifically? my target smtp server doesn’t have that much requirements. as far as i know , socks5 proxies , which support anonimity are the best choice , but are too expensive for my use, so i’m kinda stuck atm. i also thought if using tor network , but - it doesnt support smtp requests.
