I am trying to send emails using the chilkat mailman api in python, through an authenticated http proxy. I have followed the instructions from the Chilkat docs to the best of my ability but am having issues with the proxy server. I have verified that this proxy works given the specified port and auth using phantomjs scripts.
import chilkat
# The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
mailman = chilkat.CkMailMan()
# set the http proxy
mailman.put_HttpProxyAuthMethod("LOGIN")
mailman.put_HttpProxyHostname("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx")
mailman.put_HttpProxyPort(xxxxx)
mailman.put_HttpProxyUsername("xxxxx")
mailman.put_HttpProxyPassword("xxxxx")
# Set the SMTP server.
mailman.put_SmtpHost("smtp.live.com")
mailman.put_StartTLS(True)
mailman.put_SmtpPort(25)
# Set the SMTP login/password (if required)
mailman.put_SmtpUsername("xxxxxxx")
mailman.put_SmtpPassword("xxxxxxx")
# Create a new email object
email = chilkat.CkEmail()
email.put_Subject("This is a test")
email.put_Body("This is a test")
email.put_From("name@email.com")
email.AddTo("Chris Johnson","name@email.com")
# Call SendEmail to connect to the SMTP server via the HTTP proxy and send.
success = mailman.SendEmail(email)
if (success != True):
print(mailman.lastErrorText())
sys.exit()
If I take out the section that sets the proxy, the mail is successfully sent. Is there some other attribute I am missing?
