I wonder if it works like their other belongings without a stated plan for their "estate", it goes to the spouse by default, and if that isn't available it goes into limbo with probate and people have to fight over things. And if no one steps up there, it goes to the state and is lost forever.

But i don't claim to be an attorney, nor have i stayed at a holiday-inn, in perhaps 50 years ..

.

We have to work out two issues on that. The first is that the primary author of citadel_ipc.c would be difficult to contact for relicensing permission because he died in 2021. I don't know how that works; to the best of my knowledge he left no successors or assignees. The second is that citadel_ipc.c depends on libcitadel, which has numerous authors.

If you're definitely serious about building atop citadel_ipc.c then we will figure it out.

If I have to recode the bindings in Dart, I will do so. I'm fluent enough in C that I can translate the existing code easily. It's not a hard requirement that I use the C code via FFI.

Project Update:

Like WebCit, half of the code in the app is a rich-text editor plug-in that I just cited as a dependency. Flutter-Quill is a very powerful plug-in so that saved a lot of work! Now I need to build up the editor screens around it. Also, Quill is MIT licensed like the rest of the code in my repo.

Hi,

I've installed Citadel server build #994 using the "Easy Install" method on Ubuntu. As DKIM is built-in from build 1000, I'd like to make use of this feature.

I don't see any specific upgrade instructions, but I do see instructions for migrating from one server to another here: https://www.citadel.org/how_do_i_move_citadel_to_another_host.html

Can I just follow these steps from that page?

• Shut down Citadel
• Export database
• Remove Citadel - specific to upgrading on same server
• Run easy install again with latest version
• Import exported database
• Start up citadel
• Test and Tune

cheers!

Hi,

I have an issue with room configuration.

I've created a room. In Advanced => Edit or delete .... => Mailing list service I defined alternative email address for this room.

Now, when I send email to the address room_roomname@mydomain.com it works without issues.

But when I try to use email configured as alternative I get message that receipient is unknows. It doesn't matter do I send email from my Citadel or from GMail. It just doesn't work.

What did I missed?

Kind regards,

Wojtek

Hi,

I face issues with SPAM messages. Integration with SpamAssassin is kind-of working. I have 2 issues:

1) Citadel is rejecting SPAM messages, so there is no option to check headers and configure filters;

2) Ham messages are not "enriched" with X-Spam headers. I don't know is it issue with Citadel or SA configuration.

I would be greatful for any suggestions. Where is configuration for spam handling?

I know that reject is correct behavior and I would like to get back to it as soon as I get confidence that I'm loosing anything important.

Have a great day,

Wojtek

I have a fair number of users in DE and FR who would like the interface
to be in their native language.

We already have translations in both of those languages. Are they not appearing on your system?

It's possible that there is a build issue and/or something happened to prevent that from working. We have translations in many languages.

Hi,

In my instance of WebCit I have only en_US and en_GB. Other languages are not available. How to "enable" them?

Kind regards

The only language choice I have is en_US. How do I get the others?

Hi,

as in subject. I have quite nice set of rules and I would like to share it with other users on my server. How to do that?

Is there a command line client where I could do admin "stuff"?

Kind regards,

Wojtek

You do need to have all of the language packs installed in your operating system, not just for WebCit but also for the operating system itself.

On a Debian type of system the command is "dpkg-reconfigure locales".  I don't know what it is on other systems.

Then restart your WebCit and the available languages should be activated.

Hi,

solved.

In Administration -> Site-wide configuration -> SMTP there is a check box that makes Citadel mark SPAM instread rejecting.

Maybe someone will need this :)

Hi,

thanks for more insights. For now I'm learning, so I want to see how SpamAssassin works, so I want to see header and all that stuff. SA logs are bit difficult to read and understand. Once I get some experience I'm going to reject spam as you mentioned. I think this is the best behaviour.

Thanks again

It is in fact the site operator's choice whether to flag or reject spam. We reject spam by default because it is easier on system resources. Also if someone is trying to send you a message and it fails, they'll know right away because they'll get a bounce message instead of wondering whether the message is in your spam folder.

But yes, you found the correct setting to configure it to flag instead of reject. Once you do that, of course, you'll need to set up a filter for *every* user to file spam in a spam folder, because it doesn't do that by default.

You should also be aware that if you have any RBLs configured (directly in Citadel, as opposed to putting them in your spamassassin rules) these will *always* reject instead of filter. As a result you can withstand a very high volume of spam bombing attempt from listed addresses on modest hardware.

Seems i cant post in the lobby now, after that strange post from a bit ago with the odd subject line that looks sort of like an injection attack..  Did someone figure out a way to break a room, or am i broken?  I tried posting 2x and both said it was posted but nothing is there after that weirdness. 

Also, it may be unrelated but i had posted in woof zone, hit post, and it instantly took me to the lobby instead of staying in the woof zone. ( and my post in woof DID take.. i went back and it was there ok )

I'm looking into making a mobile app in the interests of replacing MightyNetworks.com which has an expansion package for online training. I was wondering if the database backend has a plugin system for adding similar expansion packs. If it doesn't, what would it take to add it? (I'm convinced that closed-source Mighty Networks software is overpriced for what it is and we can beat it.)

Hi,

I have an issue. Sometimes server just hangs. No errors in journalctl, systemctl shows that it is running, ps - no issues, no zombies. But I can't get or send email, webcit is not responding.

Everything gets back to normal when I reboot citadel service.

Server is running on RPi 3B+ with 256GB SSD drive connected via USB3 - SSD cable.

There is no "low power" messages, no cache read-write error. Nothing.

Has anyone idea what can be wrong? What can I do to troubleshoot that?

Kind regards,

Wojtek
