emailExistence.check returns false on valid email adresses on hotmail servers #19

Hi, I've been playing around with the module and I think is great! I've found that hotmail servers have some false positives for 2 reasons:

  1. When you send the End of line EOL in the connection the servers doesn't seem to recognize it. I changed to '\r\n' (I added the carriage return and it started working)
  2. If your IP is from an ISP, chances are this IP is blacklisted and always return false. You should use this module from a Server IP like heroku or other hosting providers to work.

Also I don't know if this one will fix issue #9 .

I will send a pull request on this fix to see if it works. I also wrote a test but it doesn't pass on my local machine because of reason number 2.

Let me know any feedback. Regards, Andres
