It goes on your DNS record.

Dear All,

I installed Citadel 1000 with Easy Install.

I did not find where to put the private key of DKIM.

Some help needed.

Thanks,

Luis Gonçalves

I have DKIM and DMARC working with my present Email server and DNS. Also with SSL.

I want to migrate to Citadel. In my present Email server I can configure with a DKIM Private Key and the selector.

Where I find that in Citadel?

Thanks.

Sorry, again.

I am trying this with localhost in virtualized Centos 9 in Oracle VirtualBox. (before installing in the server itself)

I put my domain and it did not appear the public key in the Room Aide.

How I induce Citadel to create the keys? 

I installed with EasyInstall some days ago.

I am very impressed with the server so far but find the lack of customer support unacceptable. Why have a support page if no one ever reads or responds. I see a number of request for help, including mine, go unanswered.

Its a small team, that are giving you this system for free, on their personal time.  Patience is a virtue.

Could you please answer this thread?

Read through that ... it will explain that Citadel generates the Key and Selector 

automatically, and then posts the generated DKIM record in the "Aide" room.

All you have to do is copy that record to your DNS.

About this server

You are connected to Citadel Server

Running: Citadel Server 1000 with WebCit 1000

Server Build: 1000

Location: (null)

System Administrator: admin

You might have gone wrong when you assumed that you are a customer and that this is a business whose job is to serve you.  This is an independent open source project run by volunteers.  You might find some help at http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

I assure you we are keeping up with requests for help as best as we can.  Sometimes it takes a while, and yes, sometimes you have to ask a second time.

Sorry, again.

Hmm.  You might try editing your domain configuration.  Administration --> Domain Names and Internet Mail Configuration, and then just add another local host alias.  It can be something bogus, you're just trying to get the server to recognize a change.  Restart the Citadel Server and see if it generates a key for you.

If that works, please let us know.  Because that would tell us that there are situations where it doesn't detect that it needs to do something, and we'll have to fix that.  Please remember that this feature is brand new so it may require some small adjustments.

 just installed and I am receiving emails without issue but can't send.

I added my domain name Fully qualified domain name and local host alias (then restarted) but still not working. I assume its a configuration issue. I noticed that when I try to send it still uses my @raspberrypi and not my domain name

Try editing your user account, if it was created before the domain name change.

You probably have the email address of the account set to "username@raspberrypi" or something like that.  When you add/change/remove valid domain names for your server, it doesn't go back and rewrite all of the account emails, because in most cases that's not the right thing to do.  In your case it would have been convenient to do that, but it has no way of knowing.

Any recommendations on SMART Hosts that is no google so that the sender appears under my domain and not the External SMTP Servers Domain?

If you're using gmail as a smart host, then yes it's going to do that.

You might try Twilio SendGrid.  I haven't used it myself but I've heard good things about that.

You might also try using a Static IP VPN that will place your Citadel Server into a "good neighborhood" with controllable static IP and reverse DNS, and then you can set things up to deliver directly without a smart host.  (This is what uncensored.citadel.org is using, by the way.  The server is running in a residential environment but has a Static IP VPN.)

Thank You. It worked. I was putting the domain in another place.

Only to know. Beyond RBL hosts there are some way to make a Denied IP list?

I cant answer that ( others can, and will ) but worst case you could just run your own DBL list that you control. 

Not that i have done, but i hear its not all that hard. 

Dear All,

I want to to generate reports with logwatch and send by email (the reports). My previous Email server provided a sendmail that replaced the original sendmail.

Does Citadel provide something equal to that? Or which the procedure to implement that in Citadel?

Or Citadel has a diferent name for sendmail?

Thanks,

Luis Gonçalves.
