c# - Sending mail through http proxy

Question

I'm trying to send emails from a system that connects to internet through a http proxy which is set in Internet Options.

i'm using SmtpClient.

Is there any way to send mails with SmtpClient through this proxy setting. Thanks

Answer 1

Http Proxies control http traffic, they rarely have anything to do with SMTP at all. I've never heard of proxying SMTP before after all SMTP itself is intrinsically supports a chain of "proxies" to the destination SMTP server.
