Subject: Re: no header in received emails
For me those numbers "/2268" are the internal identifier of each mail; I assume IG knows the mechanism of creation and if they are reused.
I understand that it is private information, but you do not specify if you know the sender(s) of those emails without subject or if they are sent from some special service or application of your own (They may even be malformed).
You also do not indicate which browser and system you use to view your webcit emails. I recommend you to try from several browsers.
And I would recommend you to check your mail from the citadel client (personally, I don't know how to use it completely). This is where I suspect the digits of the problematic email are useful (?).
Based on the "FI" country code of your samples. I can only hope that there is no misconfiguration due to some page code in your systems.
So what is your point? I do have problems. The contents of emails are missing.
I started to receive emails without headers. I can see them arrived
in webcit but not in e.g. thunderbird.
Does this only occur for messages received over the Internet, or does it also occur for messages generated locally (from a local user to another user, for example by sending directly out of WebCit) ? And do locally generated messages have the nine digit message numbers as well?
Message numbers are sequential and are not reused, so if you suddenly jumped from 2268 to 778120845 there is something corrupt in your database and you might consider restoring from a backup taken before that happened.
I came to conclusion that the database was compromised so I decided to install Citadel completely new and deleted the three folders (ctdlsupport, citadel, webcit) and issued the command "curl https://easyinstall.citadel.org/install | bash."
Installation went smoothly and it asked the ports for webcit and I gave port 3010 (http) and 3011 (https).
After the installation there were two webcits but with ports 4433 and 3344 which were the ports of the "totally" deleted installation! Where the heck could these be found?
I run the setup in the folder webcit and gave the new ports and the webcits were started with the correct ports.
Connection to port 3011 (Firefox, (https://sepegp.fi:3011) gave:
"Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to sepegp.fi:3011. You are attempting to import a cert with the same issuer/serial as an existing cert, but that is not the same cert.
Error code: SEC_ERROR_REUSED_ISSUER_AND_SERIAL"
Connection to port 3010 (Firefox, (https://sepegp.fi:3010) worked and I was able to create the old users and sending and receiving emails from internet and locally worked well as usual.
Trying to send email using thunderbird gave:
"Your certificate contains the same serial number as another certificate issued by the certificate authority. Please get a new certificate containing a unique serial number.
The configuration related to smtp.sepegp.fi must be corrected."
My problem is that I know very little about certificates so can the above cert problems solved easily? Are those certificates are generated by Citadel? Could I use e.g. Let's encrypts certificates?
Anyway I wander how those old things can haunt the "completely" new installation. Some undocumented features here :). But I am happy I can handle the emails again trough the web client.
I'm not a Certificate expert - but removing your bad certs and replacing them with new self-signed certs is pretty easy.
I discuss it a ways back up in this room.
I'd give a better answer right now - but I've got to get to work, and then I am travelling all weekend.
If you can wait until next Tuesday, if no one answers, I may be able to assist with this.

I was able to send and receive emails using citadel on linux, and I was also able to receive an email with a file attachment from gmail. However I was unable to send an email with a file attachment to gmail (have not tested others). An error message saying "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading" was received. Please let me know if this issue can be resolved. Thanks

You should be able to do <.A>dmin <E>dit-room from the text mode client.
Having deleted a user I now cannot recreate that user as it says it already exists
Just wait untill tomorrow, user should be purged an you can create it again.

hey i have a error when i install citadel on a raspberry 4.
Setup could not connect to a running Citadel server.: Connection refused citadel-admin.socket
everyone a idea?
First of all, the support web page clearly indicates that you should not send direct messages to random people on Uncensored requesting support for Citadel, so stop it. The people you messaged are here for other reasons.
Please identify what operating system is running on your Pi, what version of the OS is being used, whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit, and what steps you took to install Citadel to make it produce that error message.
Greeting to all citadel users. I just completed an easy-install on a CentOS 8 system and I am having an issue with the cli client. When I run ./citadel I am prompted to log in and that works, but once i get to the Lobby> prompt then it no longer accepts any input. No matter what commands I try to type, it does nothing. I cannot even (T)erminate. The only thing I can do is open another session and do a "killall citadel" to close the client. I was really hoping for the text client option for use as a legacy BBS style setup.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Subject: Re: text client not accepting input after logion
Never mind... I figured it out. Finally found that the generated citadel.rc file was placed in the root instead of /usr/local/citadel. Once i moved it everything works as expected.

Subject: Changing a user password - only changes imap, not smtp
Hi all!
I‘ve been running a Citadel server happily for around a year now on a Pi4 under Raspbian Buster, using it as an IMAP and SMTP server.
One of my users needs to change his password due to a potential breach.
When either he changes it or I change it (as admin) it seems to change it ok on the IMAP side but doesn’t change the SMTP side. I‘ve tried both Thunderbird and Microsoft mail as clients.
I think I can probably get around it by creating a temporary new account (say usertemp), copy all of his emails into that on the client, delete his original account, then reply-create the original account the next day with the new password after the auto-purge, then copy everything back from the temp account.
Any ideas about my problem though?
Appreciate any help,
thanks
Col
Subject: Re: Changing a user password - only changes imap, not smtp
The only thing I can think of is perhaps the client is caching old credentials?
Or maybe you have something other than Citadel listening on port 587?
