SMTP option for Email component

Looking at the Email component, it would be a great Pro feature if we could hook up our preferred SMTP service to handle the distribution of emails generated by apps.

Whilst it is possible to cobble together a solution using Zapier with Gmail, using a dedicated SMTP service would be preferred as it carries many benefits such as ability to monitor and track all messages.

There are many code libraries for SMTP, and the Email component could feature a checkbox for us to utilise SMTP as on option, whilst our API credentials for our SMTP provider could be stored in the Settings screen.

** UPDATE ** Managed to hook up Zapier to our Sheet and send submissions via Postmark - works a treat! And can even leverage the free HTML templates in Postmark.

That said, a native SMTP solution for Glide would be a good Pro feature.
