Server-Level AI API Key and Quota Management for SmarterMail
Idea shared by Fatih Gülsuyu - Today at 10:30 AM
Proposed
SmarterMail’s AI features are powerful, but the current domain-based API key model does not scale for hosting providers, MSPs, and multi-tenant environments.

Proposed Feature

Support for a server-level (global) AI API key with usage quota management.

Requirements:

  • A single AI API key defined at server level

  • Prompt / token limits enforced per:
    - Domain
    - Mailbox
    - Policy

  • End users can use AI features without managing their own API keys

  • Optional domain-level API key override


Why This Is Needed
- Managing AI API keys per domain is not practical
- Customers want AI features but do not want to deal with API keys or billing
- Quota management:
  • Prevents abuse
  • Makes costs predictable
  • Enables tiered AI plans
Without this capability, AI adoption at scale is not feasible for service providers.

If you are a hosting provider, MSP, or enterprise administrator, please upvote this idea to help prioritize it.
