Bug Description
For the last couple months I've been having an issue where emails are not sending to my kindle email address. I've tried another hotmail account as well, and it results in the same error. (have not tried GMX)
hostname: smtp.live.com port:587
encryption: TLS
Calibre Version: 3.11.1 64-bit
Windows 10 64-bit
Sending a test email from my hotmail account results in the following log:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Your computers hostname is resolving a single period, that is causing
the problem. I'll add a workaround for it int he next release, or you
can change the hostname and you should be fine.
