chore: Update SMTP configuration for Charter Africa CMS

Update the SMTP configuration in the Charter Africa CMS server file to use the environment variables `SMTP_PASS`, `SMTP_FROM_NAME`, `SMTP_FROM_ADDRESS`, and `SMTP_PORT` for the SMTP authentication password, from name, from address, and port respectively. This ensures that the SMTP settings can be easily customized and managed.
