Cannot share via email

Hi,

Whenever I try to share an ebook via email, I get the following error:

===
Starting job: Email [removed] to [removed]@kindle.com
connect: (u'stmp.gmail.com', 587)
connect: (u'stmp.gmail.com', 587)

Sending failed...

gaierror: [Errno 8] nodename nor servname provided, or not known

This used to worked, but it broke a while back. Not sure what caused it. I am currently using Calibre 4.18 on MacOS 10.15.5.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Criterion
