Add URL-encoding notice
I've had trouble connecting to Amazon SES via recommended method. I kept getting: > Exception occurred while flushing email queue: Failed to authenticate on SMTP server with username "***" I've traced it to "+" sign in the password that Amazon SES automatically assigned to my SMTP credentials. I had a hunch that special characters might be a problem and was thinking along the lines of wrapping the whole MAILER_URL value in single quotes. Then I ran into https://stackoverflow.com/a/50498999/1419874 that solved the issue for me too. Since the OP lost 3hrs and myself almost an hour, I think URL encoding might not be so obvious. Hence I propose this change. I've intentionally put it at the top, since I think it applies to any method that has special characters in username/password, not just Amazon SES.
