Trying to follow instructions at https://www.citadel.org/how_do_i_retrieve.html -> Webcit
First question: can the local cit server be referred to as a remote pop3? When I say no, I try to change folder settings as follows
Positioned at my room, folder Mail (INBOX) -> Advanced -> Edit or delete this room
-> Configuration. Making changes (e.g. tick File directory room, Directory name /home/pi/Mail
Upon Save changes, Webcit says "Cannot edit this room". What's required?
Some details:
citadel and webcit installed on RaspberryPi 4
User "pi" has admin privilege. Logged in locally (keyboard, mouse and screen, i.e. not ssh)
ls -ld /home/pi/Mail :: drwxrwxrwx 2 root pi 4096 Aug 15 12:53 /home/pi/Mail
Chromium-browser URL=http://192.168.0.21:8090 functioning perfectly so far.
In the end I want to access incoming mail from a place like /var/mail/pi using a basic command like cat
/hgs_at_oso
Thanks for the hint. I'm still struggling with inconsistent settings in a range of configs. fetchmail is installed. Awaiting success...
/hgs_at_oso
On my system there's no lpr. As a workaround I defined in /etc/citadel/citadel.rc
printcmd=/usr/bin/lpr
a script intended to pipe STDIN to a file
ls -l /usr/bin/lpr
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 77 Aug 19 09:12 /usr/bin/lpr
cat /usr/bin/lpr
#!/bin/sh
echo "This is a fake lpr"
cat >> /home/pi/Mail/container.txt
exit
ls -l /home/pi/Mail/container.txt
-rw-rw-rw- 1 pi pi 0 Aug 18 23:01 /home/pi/Mail/container.txt
Using it from a bash command line the script is working. Restarting citserver from webcit, going to a message in my Mail room and clicking print doesn't do the intended. Instead, there's a short flash of a window too short to read. Is /etc/citadel/citadel.rc the right file to edit? What do I have to do?
Thanks in advance
/hgs_at_oso
fetchmail doesn't allow me to connect to citserver (neither POP3 nor SMTP).
However, with telnet to port 110 I can list the emails and extract the content. There's a request for certificates. Who's the culprit? Have goggled around, got no clue.
telnet localhost.private 110

Subject: How to send email via citadel's SMTP service?
Hello! So far, citadel is so wonderful for our small group but, we have a website now and its two machines.. one for citadel and one for the website.. ports are set up right, mail works and all that... but we're unable to connect to the SMTP to send email from the website. is there something i need to change to allow remote connections to send email from the SMTP as a relay? i'm able to read email just fine in thunderbird and all that, but i'm not able to send it there either. is there a setting to change to be able to remotely connect to the SMTP server?
Hi,
I'm trying to send email from my citadel server to my Gmail but my outgoing mails bounce back with the error 550-[5.7.1]. My incoming emails are working fine. Any help would be highly appreciated 🙂
P.S.: I have SSL certificate enabled which I thought was the issue but it wasn't -,-
Did you ever get this fixed?
Think I may have gotten past the initial service start.
In /usr/local/citadel, ran the database cleanup script
sudo ./database_cleanup.sh

It sounds like you did something that damaged your database. If database_cleanup.sh doesn't fix it, you should definitely restore your most recent backup.
As a matter of normal operation, please make sure you always have ample free space on your disk.
I am trying use the aerc email client with my citadel server (version 957). Aerc works fine with my gmail account (trying to get rid of that).
Aerc connects and displays the imap folders and the number of messages in each folder but does not retrieve the messages. The aerc logs are showing the following error:

I think that the message, "Found 0 UIDs" might be what is causing the problem.
I don't see any errors in the citadel syslog so I am wondering how to enable a different logging level to show citadel's debug logs?
Or if anyone has any other ideas or possible experience getting the aerc client to work?
Thank you
Hello! We run citadel with active directory and its been very wonderful but our tech wants to know if theres a way to turn up the time until next LDAP login.. the citadel server creates a login request every single second. its configured right and looks to be successfully authenticated, but it happens too often and our tech would like to be able to set it to happen every minute or every 5 minutes as we assume its for the SMTP server
Hello dear community,
I've been trying to shutdown citadel for over an hour now and i just couldn't
find anything in the documentation or FAQ, so i am asking here..
how can i stop the service from the terminal?
Thank you so much for understanding.
Kind regards,

Just tried running citadel from docker, but webcit would exit, returning code 101. My admittidly brief search of the web documentation didn't turn anything up. Any suggestions as to where I can look?

Are you running on docker or bare metal?

I'm running my citadel in my Ubuntu VM. So no docker.
