MailBot by Tavel — email accounts creator, checker and unlocker

What proxy list formats are supported by MailBot?

Program supports specifying proxy details in URI format (RFC 3986):

protocol://username:password@host:port

or

host:port:username:password

where host means an IP address or domain.

Everything should be clear with the second format, but for the first one you can specify:

• proxy protocol (optional part), you can specify: socks5, socks4, https, http, ssh
• proxy username and password (optional part), separated by a colon
• proxy address (mandatory part), consists of IP address or domain and port number, separated by a colon

Important! If the username or password contains special characters from the set !#$&'()*+,/:;=?@[] then, according to the URI format, they must be URL encoded.

Examples of valid formats:

• IP:port
• host:port
• IP:port:username:password
• username:password@IP:port
• https://IP:port
• socks5://username:password@host:port
• ssh://username:password@IP:port

Does MailBot support IPv6 proxies?

No. MailBot supports only IPv4 and IPv4-IPv6 proxies.

Why is there no support for IPv6 proxies?

To date, IPv6 proxies have no advantages in terms of creating accounts, since IPv6 addresses are banned by entire subnets. In addition, only Yandex allows to create an account via IPv6 from email providers supported by MailBot.

What type of proxy is better to use?

It is always better to use a SOCKS proxies (SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 — it doesn’t really matter), since HTTP(S) proxies interfere with HTTP protocol when transmitting traffic and therefore, on average, generate much more errors than SOCKS proxies that work at TCP level and do not interfere with the HTTP protocol.

As a rule, proxy providers allow access to their proxies using any protocol, therefore, it is advisable to select the “HTTP(S)” proxy type only in cases where it is known for sure that proxies support only HTTP (for example as oxylabs).

I have big list of proxies with only several unique IP addresses but with different port numbers. For example, a fragment of AKE.net proxy list:
…
134.119.219.49:30075
151.106.4.123:30061
138.201.139.223:30561
162.55.245.152:30283
162.55.245.152:30660
134.119.190.241:30164
…
Does the program properly handle such lists?

These are backconnect (aka rotating) proxies. MailBot is able to create accounts with such lists, however, because these IP addresses are not real external IPs from which signup takes place, the proxy ban subsystem will not work correctly and it is recommended to disable it. It is planned to fully support the backconnect proxies in the future.

How to disable the registration limit from one IP address, in order to the proxies will not get banned at all by this criterion?

You need to setup settings “Accounts per IP address” to 0 and “IP address ban time (hours:minutes)” to 0:0 on “Creator” tab.

How to clear a list of erroneously banned proxies?

You need to delete \DB folder.

I use proxies from Bright Data (formerly luminati.io), why there is no connection to Mail.com domains?

This is Bright Data‘s policy, they blocked access to some email providers. This is what their support answered on this issue: We don’t allow access to mobile domains (it’s blocked from our end) What is your use case for mail.com?

I use proxies from IPRoyal, oxylabs, PacketStream or smartproxy, why does Outlook creator in MailBot give the error “EIdConnClosedGracefully: Connection Closed Gracefully.”?

IPRoyal, oxylabs, PacketStream and smartproxy blocked access to Outlook domains via their proxies. If you open the Outlook home page via their proxy in Mozilla Firefox, there will also be an error:

I want to use my own proxies for FunCAPTCHA, reCAPTCHA or hCaptcha solution, how can I pass them to the CAPTCHA solving service? And what if my proxy provider requires IP address whitelisting?

To pass the current proxy from MailBot to the CAPTCHA API for solving FunCAPTCHA, reCAPTCHA or hCaptcha, you need to check “Pass the proxy for Arkose Labs (FunCAPTCHA)”, “Pass the proxy for reCAPTCHA” or “Pass the proxy for hCaptcha” checkboxes respectively in the account settings of the selected CAPTCHA solving service. If your proxy provider requires IP address whitelisting, then use the instructions for 2Captcha API, CapMonster Cloud API and API CapSolver. Unfortunately, other CAPTCHA solving services do not support such proxies. If your proxy provider does not allow you to whitelist more than one IP address, then you will not be able to pass such proxies either.

I have 30k proxies in my list, but accounts are created very slow. Why?

A large list does not mean that there is a lot or even a single working proxy in it. Typically, the larger the list, the fewer working proxies it has, especially if the list was not purchased. Therefore, MailBot spends most of the time on checking non-working proxies. In this case, it is better to pre-select the working proxies from the list using a professional proxy checker, which is available for clients in the “Download” section.

My proxy provider limits traffic, how much traffic does it take to create one email account?

The traffic volume via proxy will depend on:

• selected email provider
• activation of additional services on the account, such as uploading an avatar, etc.
• using the “Compress traffic” setting on the “Settings” tab

For example, as of September 14, 2023, creating one Outlook / Hotmail account without activating additional services costs:

• 250 KB – with traffic compression enabled
• 398 KB – with traffic compression disabled

That is, in the ideal case, 1 GB of traffic is enough to create ~4200 Outlook / Hotmail accounts.
