Calibre Errors

[Motomaggot]

Have anyone else been having issues with Calibre sending via email to your Kindle.  On two machines, one is fine and the other is not working.  The error message is below, but no board seems to have a solution.  Calibre is a Python based program and I am using pyTivo on the machine that is having issues.  Any ideas?

Have you posted this error message on mobileread.com yet? The creator of Calibre posts there and there is a section on the board just for the program.

No but I will.  Thanks for the tip.

On two machines, one is fine and the other is not working.

Both machines in the same place, using the same internet connection/ISP?

I do know of ISP's here in the UK that block smtp mail sending except to their own mail server as an "anti-spam" mechanism.
