I had a user request the option to use de_DE language rather than the en_US it uses by default. Is this a option?

I had a user request a way to display the privacy policy I generated for people in the EU. Is there a way to add a menu item in the left menu-bar? Or a better way to do this?

Hi there,

I successfully (I think) installed the dockerized version of Citadel, opening the needed tcp inbound ports, the web part is behing a Caddy instance and the whole things seems to work well, with two users on two different domains, I'm sending and receiving mail correctly.

Now, when I try to connect a mail client to this Citadel instance it fails, with Thunderbird, Outlook classic or emClient. I tried to connect manually with telnet on port 143 and the server anwers correctly.

So, I didn't find on the Citadel web site any recommendations for setting up a mail client, maybe there is an extra configuration needed on the server ?

Thanks

thunderbird should auto-detect the settings if you give it your email address and password. Works for me on that platform and other users of my server find that's true too.

That always worked for me as well.

Ah, thanks for your reply but I think the default self-signed certificated generated by Citadel is refused by the mail clients, can you confirm that you had to setup a "real" certificate ?

Not that it helps you but all my certs are done via an 'external' NGNIX server..  ( it also handles all my DNS name -> IP/port routing since im stuck with one external IP address to use )

It's working now, as I guessed Citadel needed real certificates, I used one automatically generated by the Caddy already used as a reverse proxy for the Citadel web access, and it worked !

I imagine that it's quite close to your own solution, thanks.

Then it DISAPPEARS under the show as BULLETIN board style. I
also found it to be really handy to be able to read emails like
a bulletin board then be able to find key words in my emails.

Can you clarify please ... was there a previous version of Citadel in which this appeared differently, or are you pointing out the difference between the Mail and Forums view and requesting the search box in one of them?

And if it is an older version where it worked differently, what version was that? WebCit-classic hasn't been significantly modified in quite some time but we can run a diff and see if something was accidentally lost.

MAIL

BULLETIN BOARD

BLOG

would all have the SEARCH function ontop of the "view as"

It was a few version earlier, when you still have the OPENID

I am trying to setup remote retrieval of my messages from a pop server. Citadel only allows me to enter one mailbox to retrieve mail from per pop server. I have several mailboxes all on the same pop server that I need to add.  Please advise how this can be achieved.

Is there a way to extract the private key for backup, and later to restore the backup to avoid modifying DNS records?

Dear All,

I have a top rule as:

X-SPAM-STATUS contains TRUE -> Move message to Folder -> Continue processing.

Then comes another rules to process the message that I want to be processed even it is SPAM.

It happens that if the message is detected as SPAM it does not do the next rules. (I suppose).

In the next rules I forward the message to other emails and they did not receive.

It already worked (forward email) when the email was not SPAM. (this is a montly received email).

Despite the message flaged as SPAM it is wrong flaged but this is another thing.

Perhaps this can have workarrounds (you can sugest, I changed the order of the rules) but I think that it is an anomally. 

Thanks,

Luís Gonçalves.

I put the SPAM rule downwards. Will this work?

I've got a newish setup doing email for a few domains that I host, and am seeing messages that someone on an IP that whois reports as Stellar Group AS - apparently in France - is creating users on my board

The accounts being created are backup, mail, news, and blog, which strike me as useful usernames for sending spam from. If I delete the accounts, they are recreated shortly afterwards.

For the moment, I have set up these accounts manually, with Problem User rank and randomised passwords, which will hopefully stop anyone using them, but what seems problematic is that someone is able to create them in the first place.

Does anybody have any idea what's going on?

Sounds to me more nefarious than just spam. Why not just delete them, recreate them with a huge random password?  Then they cant get in and create/use them.

wow sorry about that.. your last bit of manually creating somehow didn't show up until after i submitted.

Hello All,

I hope I am posting this question in the right place.

We are using the latest "Citadel Hardened-ol8arm-5.0.0-prod" and we would like to launch the instance as r8g.xlarge however it gives the following error "The instance configuration for this AWS Marketplace product is not supported"

is it possible to allow r8g.xlarge ?

thanks,

I just wanted to share, I've attempted to install Citadel on non-systemd systems a number of times now and I just cannot get it to function properly without systemd. This may not be important to the Citadel community, but I wanted share my findings. I have a handful of clients that have taken a stance against systemd and am looking for a groupware solution for them. Outside of this specific issue, Citadel seems fantastic. I've had no issue building and/or installing on Debian or Ubuntu systems as long as they have systemd.
