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. 

Kudos to them.

While LG or one of the others can chime in, and will, i suspect you will have to create your own start up script, using the systemD service definition as a guideline.

Dear All,

I am getting problems giving the following message:

xxxxxx@gmail.com 550 (550-5.7.26 Your email has been blocked because the sender is unauthenticated. )

I have an automatic forward (through a rule) from my server (from an email address) to an gmail address.

Here explains the problem:

I did not read completely these sites.

With present Citadel features, can it solve the problem? Or will the features be included in a future release?

I suppose that the Citadel maintainers are more aware of this than me. That is why I am looking help.

Thanks,

Luís Gonçalves.

Notice that I have DKIM, SPD, DMARC.

Dear All,

Before I had Citadel I had Communigate (sorry to talk of foes). I leaved Communigate because they ended the Community Version and perhaps because they are Russians. (sorry if I damage someone feelings).

In Communigate they have 3 types of automated (with rules) forwards. Each one changes the header of the forward email differently. I can provide to the Citadel maintainers a version of Communigate that supports Community for testing. Or you can obtain an old version in Communigate western site. I have a version for Centos.

You can contact me though the email in the rules of https://uncensored.citadel.org/.

Thanks,

Luís Gonçalves.

Sorry my bad English. Not foes but competitors. Not leaved but left. Not though but through.

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.

Folks like that don't quite understand, do they. :)

So, you've basically got a few options.

1. If your system is intended to be private, simply turn off self-service user account creation.

2. If your system is intended to be public, make sure you configure it so that accounts cannot send outbound Internet email by default.

Both options are found in your system configuration screen.

Agreed - switching off self-service user account creation was the first thing that I did, even before they started appearing, along with setting new accounts as Problem User and disabling email - this latter being, I suspect the reason for the new users.

However, another new account has been created since then.

Is there a setting somewhere to block IP numbers or ranges? Not a complete solution, but it might at least slow repeat offenders down.

Hi there I installed Citadel today. My group is weak in English. Requires installing the native language, in my case Polish. Is this possible? if so, how to do it?

if there is no such option, maybe there is a language file in this system that I can manually edit

How can I fix this issue

left upper corner of images

first is correct the second is from my installed system (smothing is wrong with it)

What I am trying to describe is:

Just as you have the SEARCH BAR when in view as: MAIL

is to possible that you have a SEARCH BAR when in other views? Such as Bulletin Board or Blog?

It is a very useful feature when in those other views because then the search feature will work for the "body" of the emails.

Thanks,

Nick

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

run the command on the terminal  dpkg-reconfigure locales and chouse the language you need.
