Trying to install citadel using Easy Install. Libcitadel fails to
install, it's missing the configure script. Was automake/autoconf not
run ?
Noted. I pushed that update last night and just noticed that it had that problem.
You should be able to run it now with no problems. It's been fixed.
So i've changed passwords, they're now up to 9 characters long (some
of the not working ones were 12 characters long, most were 16).
Now they all work.
Not sure about that, but Citadel Server permits passwords up to 31 characters long.
Do the usernames have spaces or other non-alnum characters in them? Unless you have a very old Citadel you should be able to remove all of the spaces and other characters from the login name and it will still work. That often helps when using third party clients.
No, usernames do not have spaces or unusual characters in them.
And using webmail, there are no problems, so i think it is unlikely that there is a problem with Citadel itself.
I did test with a windows 11 laptop, and had the same problem.
I'll create new users and their names will be test10, test11, test12, test13 and test14, with passwords containing only numbers to see what will happen.
They will be removed after testing.
Hey, has anyone here integrated Citadel with AD?
[ https://www.citadel.org/msadsso.html ]
(It's a bit old, using Windows Server 2008, but the procedure hasn't changed much since then.)
Hello,
Very new to this room.
From a client machine I am trying to: echo "Subject: Client machine citmail" | /usr/local/citadel/citmail red@webmailserver.dom.com
An getting this: citmail: can't connect: Connection refused
The webmailserver sever is ONLY listening on 587.
The command works fine from the webmailserver sever itself (localhost).
In the client machine I did install another citadel full but stop the 3 services (citadel, http/https web)... on/off does not make any change)
Telnet from client to server on port 587 is OK
netstat -ltnp | grep cit
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:504 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 129029/citserver
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:587 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 129029/citserver
tcp6 0 0 :::444 :::* LISTEN 119743/webcit
I thought it was a certificate/key issue and copy from the server to the client (citadel.key and citadel.cer).
Question:
1) I can't find a conf file that I can check for citmail is this normal?
2) I can find in the server any logs that could tell me why it's rejecting
3) from the CLient adding the "-d" to citmail does not display more info
Any tips ?
Subject: Re: Configuring citmail to send mail on 587
That's not what `citmail` is for.
If you are running some third-party MTA that needs to call some other program to perform the final delivery of local mail, `citmail` is what it calls. But even that is mostly obsolete at this point, because most MTA's now support LMTP, and Citadel provides an LMTP socket.
If you are running Citadel Server on your host and you need to deliver mail from shell scripts and the like, you could consider a program like `nullmailer` (it's in your OS repo) and point that at Citadel.
Subject: installing on AmazonLinux (or any ARM, really)
Trying to get Citadel going on the cheapest AWS server I can, and on ARM, if possible. Tried AmazonLinux both x64 and ARM versions and get the error "==: unary operator expected" when attempting to run the quickstart curl https://easyinstall.citadel.org/install | bash
Is there an ARM distro that Citadel works on?
My intent in using citmail is to minimize the number of different software needed.
If I am using citadel, why not use citmail on my linux client?
Well I did try another SW and it's failing, that one also as bad logs, not sure of the reason of failure.
User/password authen is my guess but don't know how to fix in that SW.
My echo test with citmail is also to ensure that the basic is all good.
Thank you for the SW suggestion I will try.
Subject: Re: installing on AmazonLinux (or any ARM, really)

I just tried it and you are correct, Amazon Linux is not supported by Easy Install.
You can use the Docker version of Citadel, which seems to work great on Amazon Linux. If you really want the Easy Install version, try selecting Ubuntu instead of Amazon Linux. That should work fine.
Subject: Re: Configuring citmail to send mail on 587

I understand that, and you are doing the right thing by installing Citadel instead of a bunch of other software, but again -- the `citmail` utility is not intended to do what you are trying to do.
Subject: Rebooted my RHEL 8.8 instance and now Citadel crashes upon start...
Only just started using Citadel. It was working perfectly fine until I recently rebooted the instance it was running on.
Now it starts, runs for 10 seconds, and then systemctl status returns this:

I'm new to Citadel, know some Linux and basic coding, but otherswise am stumped here. Not sure what to do, because I'm not entirely sure what's going on. It mentions a "segfault," which sounds like some sort of illegal memory issue. Maybe it's a permissions based issue, but I haven't knowingly changed any on that box. Just rebooted, and that was it.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated as I'm stuck.
Cheers,
JP

Docker supports ARM.

i guess i should have added, that 'real' ARM hardware does work. One of mine is being used to test builds with..
Not knowing AWS, but i wonder if their stuff is 'different' than the rest somehow.

Subject: Re: installing on AmazonLinux (or any ARM, really)
I get a similar error on Ubuntu:
All right, I've gone ahead and updated the OS detection logic in Easy Install and tried it on both Amazon Linux and Ubuntu, both on ARM. Both detect the OS correctly.
That having been said, you really might want to have a look at the Docker version of Citadel; it's the same software but it's much easier to get running.
Dear All,
couple of days back server stopped sending mails. Notices because of an error message coming back with SMTP code 412. Receiving is fine, no issues.
In the logs I keep seeing this message:
Sep 23 12:56:17 citserver[5959]: citserver[5959]: msgbase: message #97535 was not found
Sep 23 12:56:17 citserver[5959]: citserver[5959]: smtpclient: 97535 does not exist
Sep 23 12:56:17 citserver[5959]: msgbase: message #97535 was not found
Sep 23 12:56:17 citserver[5959]: smtpclient: 97535 does not exist
Thought maybe database had issues so restored a backup from before last time message was sent successfully. But this did not change anything. No mail goes out and the error also reappears. I therefore guess it is unrelated.
When I login as admin in Webcit and go to outbound SMTP queue it is showing:
As there are mails pending that have not been delivered, I would have expected to see them here.
Any ideas would be much welcome.
Thanks,
P.
Subject: Re: Rebooted my RHEL 8.8 instance and now Citadel crashes upon start...
Tried re-running the Easy Install, but that crapped out too after it started up.
I guess I can try just blowing it all away and start from scratch, but I'd rather not.
Definitely bombs out at the segfault mentioned above.

Ok, one more time.
You should definitely wipe out /usr/local/ctdlsupport, /usr/local/citadel, and /usr/local/webcit before continuing.
I made some tweaks to Easy Install and tested it on a brand new RHEL installation.
It worked for me.
Subject: Re: Rebooted my RHEL 8.8 instance and now Citadel crashes upon start...
Yep. Doing that right now. Thank you.
