smtplib does not support connections through a proxy. The accepted workaround is something like:

```
import smtplib
import socks

socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS4, proxy_host, proxy_port)
socks.wrapmodule(smtplib)

smtp = smtplib.SMTP()
```

The side-effects of `socks.wrapmodule` impact other libraries which don't need to use the proxy, like `requests`. See here for a disucssion https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/issues/3890
