Cold Emailing Woes

So I've been trying to cold email bankers at different places, but I've run into a big problem: company firewalls. Even if I send requests through my .edu email, I either get, "This email not found," or "This email was blocked." Is there a better way of sending coffee chat requests or do I start LinkedIn stalking.
