WHAT IT DOES

What set_domain_smtp does on TrekMail MCP Server

AI agents use set_domain_smtp to create or update resources in TrekMail MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your TrekMail MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why set_domain_smtp is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies SMTP settings for outbound mail delivery, making it a Write action. While not directly moving money, misconfiguration could severely impact email operations and deliverability across an entire domain. Severity is high due to the blast radius (affects all outbound mail from a domain), though the action is reversible if corrected.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Set how a domain sends outbound mail' — this modifies email infrastructure configuration (SMTP settings) for a domain, which is a reversible configuration change.
