Hello, team!

There are quite a few issues of people not knowing how to setup the SMTP config (#44, #47, #76, #82).

I suggest we add a bit of documentation about that.

Thanks!

Much needed!
A lot of my anxiety (Besides finding the instructions somewhere random place), I did not realize my cloud provider was blocking SMTP traffic to fight spam coming from their servers. Would it makes sense to just that if you are experiencing errors to check if your cloud provider blocks SMTP by default?

One way to do this is to use an email service. [Resend](https://resend.com/) and [SendGrid](https://sendgrid.com/) are two popular choices.

Create an account and API key on an email service and set these variables in `/pds/pds.env` (example with Resend):

Here could add:

Ensure that, if you are using a cloud provider, that they allow SMTP traffic by default. Even if your firewall rules open it, your cloud provider may have their own restrictions for spam
