We updated the Mailtrap product itself, and it's no longer a testing tool exclusively. This description is more accurate and still focuses on MODX's users' SMTP based email sending needs. Also updated 'smtp.mailtrap.io' to 'live.smtp.mailtrap.io'.

Trying again after previous PR received a comment about being promotional. Removed any possible fluff.

You have removed the reason for mentioning the Mailtrap service in the MODX docs. I would start the page with the following text.

When working on a development site, it's useful to send emails through a service to prevent accidentally sending test emails to actual customers. We suggest to use the Mailtrap service for this.

@Jako you're right, our mistake. I will attempt to edit the current submission and add some more detail about setup relevant to the users, based on Amazon SES' doc page on your site too since it also includes email sending.

This description is more accurate considering that Mailtrap is no longer only a testing tool. Added email sending features and kept the testing features. Also went in more detail on how to set up both functions.

It looks ok, but I am not the one to decide this. I don't have merge access.
