Description
Add documentation about mail server configuration for online development:
https://github.com/codalab/codabench/wiki/How-to-deploy-Codabench-on-your-server
This is an important step to deploy a functional platform because without this the user creation is clumsy: users do not receive email confirmation and we need to find the link in Django logs.
