proxies for SMTP communication

Hi all,

longtime lurker around here. I'm doing a test project that relates to connecting to Mail Servers on port 25 - essentially mimick an SMTP relay server interaction with a genuine MX server. The intention is to not deliver any email and definitely not spam.

However, AWS and other hosting services block any outbound connection to port 25. What is the workaround here? Would buying a dedicated proxy on Webshare Proxy and then routing the connection through it work? Maybe other proxy providers are better? Perhaps a lesser-known cloud solution would work as well?

Thank you!

Good luck with your project. But one thing before i go You cannot proxy SMTP maybe proxy will be used for forwarder ping rather than making such long process you can just build SMTP with cipher techniques.

Thanks - yep, I have the backend ready just need a proxy or VPS that has port 25 open by default. WebShare proxies are blocking port 25. I'll look around the marketplace here
