Summary:

The code changes in this pull request focus on improving the SMTP configuration management in the Janssen Server. The changes introduce multiple configuration tools, including command-line interface (CLI), text-based user interface (TUI), and REST API, to provide a flexible and comprehensive way to manage SMTP settings. From an application security perspective, the key points to consider are the secure handling of sensitive data (such as SMTP server passwords), appropriate authentication and authorization controls for the configuration management operations, robust input validation to prevent injection vulnerabilities, the use of secure communication protocols, and the implementation of logging and monitoring mechanisms to track any changes or access attempts.

Overall, the code changes appear to be a positive step in enhancing the SMTP configuration management capabilities of the Janssen Server, with a focus on security and usability. As an application security engineer, I would recommend thoroughly reviewing the implementation details to ensure that the SMTP configuration process adheres to best practices for secure software development.

Files Changed:

• docs/admin/config-guide/smtp-configuration.md: This file provides documentation on the SMTP configuration management tools introduced in the Janssen Server. The key changes include:
