docs: fix mail server + drop SSH tunneling

- Remove smtp.anhonesthost.com row from service-hostnames partial — we
  don't operate a single shared SMTP gateway; mail server hostnames are
  per-domain and listed on the WHP Dashboard
- Drop SSH tunneling section from service-hostnames reference (not a
  supported access path)
- Point email-client setup at the Dashboard for the per-domain host
  rather than assuming a 'mail.<yourdomain>' pattern
