Update Joomla SMTP host port number #11

The port number for the JOOMLA_SMTP_HOST has been updated from 1080 to 1025. This change has been made in two places in the code - under VDM_EXTRA_JOOMLA_ENV. This will correct the SMTP settings and ensure emails from Joomla are correctly routed through the mailcatcher service.
