Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

setting-up-sending-domain scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Setting up a Mailtrap sending domain

Overview

You must add and verify a domain you control before live sending. Mailtrap shows every DNS record required for that domain in the UI: add the complete set as given (do not cherry-pick). After DNS verifies, complete the compliance step if requested.

Subdomain vs root: add the exact hostname you will use in the From address. If you send from notifications.mycompany.com, add that subdomain as the sending domain—not only mycompany.com, unless you truly send from the root domain.

For step-by-step clicks at common hosts, open the matching guide on Sending domain setup (Cloudflare, Route 53, etc.) and follow it alongside the live UI values.

Related skills: authorizing-api-requests (tokens, env vars, account_id resolution), sending-emails (after domain is ready).

When to use

  • New Sending Domains setup, stuck verification, or compliance questions
  • DNS at Cloudflare, AWS, Google, Namecheap, GoDaddy, DigitalOcean, etc.

When not to use

  • Sandbox-only testing without a custom domain (see testing-with-sandbox)

Authorization

The Sending Domains API calls below need Authorization: Bearer $MAILTRAP_API_TOKEN and an $MAILTRAP_ACCOUNT_ID in the path. Token scope, storage, and the one-liner that resolves $MAILTRAP_ACCOUNT_ID from GET https://mailtrap.io/api/accounts are covered in skill authorizing-api-requests.

Automating setup (API and DNS providers)

Prefer this path when building scripts or AI-assisted automation:

  1. DNS records and status via API — Use the Sending Domains API:
  • GET https://mailtrap.io/api/accounts/$MAILTRAP_ACCOUNT_ID/sending_domains — lists domains
  • GET https://mailtrap.io/api/accounts/$MAILTRAP_ACCOUNT_ID/sending_domains/{sending_domain_id} — returns dns_records (each with type, name, value, and verification status) and dns_verified. Poll after you publish DNS.
  1. Create domain via API
  • POST https://mailtrap.io/api/accounts/$MAILTRAP_ACCOUNT_ID/sending_domains with domain_name when your flow provisions domains programmatically.
  1. Publish DNS programmatically
  • Create the returned records at your DNS host using their API (e.g., Cloudflare API, AWS Route 53, Google Cloud DNS) or IaC. Align record names and values exactly with the API response.
