Right ... unfortunately WebCit does not have HTTP-to-HTTPS redirection built in. If that is something you need you will have to generate the redirect from another web service.

Thank you for your answer.

Yes, this is what I am looking for. May be it would be worth to add this feature in the future to the webserver imbedded into Webcit.

It seems that the only solution of this kind now would be to proxy via Nginx. (I don't have experience with Docker) 

But I prefer to have as little middlemen as possible. :-)

On it! Server option completed already (it was just a couple extra
lines of code) so we just need to go through the user interfaces adding

that switch in. Look for it in the next release.

Look for Citadel 997 arriving tomorrow (January 30) with your requested feature available. The SMTP server will have a configurable option to offer STARTTLS.

If I haven't mentioned it yet, the reason we don't offer STARTTLS by default on port 25 is because offering TLS with an invalid certificate will cause a lot of senders to refuse to talk to your server. So definitely only enable this option if you have a valid and trusted certificate.

This is good news!

I have a trusted certificate and would keep it only that way. 

Would you tell me where to find the setting of this feature?

Dear developers, dear community,

I usually install citadel by build script file "install.sh" to a non-standard location. The 'install.sh" defines at the beginning three basic path variables, namely SUPPORT, CITADEL and WEBCIT that hold the basic pathes to ctdlsupport, citadel and webcit, respectively. So in order to install to a non-standard location ideally I only have to change the values of the three path variables. But unfortunately "install.sh" uses some pathes that don't rely on those path variables like those listed below:

PERMSTESTDIR=/usr/local/ctdltest.$$

mkdir /usr/local/ctdlsupport 2>/dev/null
mkdir /usr/local/citadel 2>/dev/null
mkdir /usr/local/webcit 2>/dev/null
find /usr/local/ctdlsupport | grep -i ical | xargs rm -v 2>/dev/null
find /usr/local/ctdlsupport | grep -i expat | xargs rm -v 2>/dev/null
find /usr/local/ctdlsupport | grep -i curl | xargs rm -v 2>/dev/null
find /usr/local/ctdlsupport | grep -i sieve | xargs rm -v 2>/dev/null

/usr/local/citadel/setup </dev/tty >/dev/tty 2>/dev/tty || die

ExecStart=/usr/local/webcit/webcit -pWEBCIT_PORT uds /usr/local/citadel

ExecStart=/usr/local/webcit/webcit -s -pWEBCITS_PORT uds /usr/local/citadel

And thats the reason why the installtion proces allways stopes unsuccessfully.

Could you please make all does pathes rely on the basic path variables mentioned above? So whenever my installation pathes differ from the standard pathes the build script runs smoothly and installs all software successfully.

Thanks and good night

hello all, where do I go to change the ports used for https?  I want to change the port I used for the initial setup, and I can't find this option anywhere.

Thanks,

Hi, I'm new to Citadel, and was wondering if it'd be possible to rebrand the citadel web page to possibly have custom images and colors?

If not that's understandable but it'd be nice to know how to do that.

Thanks in advance,

I have issues where sending mail to @gmail addresses never gets delivered but doesn't bounce. I think I need to set up the DNS to allow this but I don't know how to set it up. Any tips?

Hi,

In my set-up, I have always used a different outgoing host for my mail clients.  Now, I would like to start using Citadel also for outgoing mail.

I understand, That I need to create a smart host; this smart host will be the same as my previous outgoing host for SMTP.

The outgoing hosts requires login/password, and also requires that all mail has this login in the From:-header.

So, for example, for outgoing host smtp.abc.com, I need to log-in with Abcname@abc.com, and all mail needs to come from Abcname@abc.com. For outgoing host smtp.def.com, I need to log-in with defname@def.com, and all mail needs to come from defname@def.com.

Anyone knows how to configure that?
