Citadel Support

Hi everyone I would like my android users to import the contacts in the Global Address Book , so that they have the other users ready in their phonebook when they want to email them without the webcit (email client). I tried to sync the funambol client with the gab, but something weird happens. It seems that the problem are the spaces... If i tell to funambol the sync source is Http://mycitadeladdr:port/groupdav/Global%20Address%20Book/ The sync process ends without errors, but the vcard are not imported If i change the name of GAB to something without spaces, the sync success perfectly, but we all know citadel will recreate the Global Address Book as soon as i modify a user... So my questions : 1) do you know the way i should refer to the GAB as a source in order to have funambol work?(spaces problem) Or 2) is it possible to duplicate a room (the gab) inside the same server (as with shared rooms) so that i could have a copy o gab with a neme without spaces to use as sync source? Or 3) is it possible to copy the gab into the contacts in an automatic way (everytime it is modified) Or 4) any other idea to accomplish my task? Thanx in advance

I guess this question is rather well suited for Citadel+Funambol Support.

https://uncensored.citadel.org/dotgoto?room=Citadel%2BFunambol%20Support

i'll move it.

 

hello,

 

sorry not sure if this is the correct room.

i am testing citadel but cant find the menus on how to create groups and forwaring. just for creating users. thanks

citadel doesn't support grouping of users.

Usually addressing groups of users is done via public / invite rooms.

forwarding can be done using sieve; its however not intended for heavy usage. The mechanism can stand some dozend users using it, but will run into performance limitations if you intend to use it for all of your several hundret users.

So far, so good...ran the database cleanup script, and my citadel has been up 4 2 days and 4 hours without going down.

"Unable to allocate the space required for /usr/local/citadel/netconfigs/265.1637: Permission denied"

I have a address pointing to a room that is visible to multiple users. However, since it is a common address it is a target for spammers. I'm moving spam into a "Junk" folder with per-user server-side filters. But I can't do this on a room (as far as I know) and it's filling up with spam. So I want to just forward it to a list of recipients, but I get the error message above.

Is that the best way to handle that situation? Am I able to define multiple recipients to a certain alias in the mail.aliases file?

Thanks

Hello there,

Weel, i don't share your point of view completely.

The first question is funambol related, no doubt.

But question 2, 3, 4 are not strictly funanbol linked, but citadel matters.

answering to question 2, or 3 or 4 would solve completely my problem...

thanx in advance.

this error message is about that citadel is unable to write this temporary file in that directory (before moving it to the final name)

you need to check file/directory permissions it needs to be writeable for the citadel user.

thanks!

i forgot to mention that im talking about creating email groups and email forwarding.

you mean its not supported by citadel?

no its not supported.

But, that doesn't mean that there is no smart way to achieve this with citadel.

You can add mail recipients to rooms, and messages which you post into that room are sent to the people enlisted with that room.

You are currently posting messages in such a room.

As mentioned, forwarding can be done by sieve.

Okay I know that Exchange uses their own stupid system for everything, but how can I go about making sure that Citadel Server can read/attach their messages/attachements correclty?  I am tired of winmail.dat and installing apt-get install tnef and running it on the winmail.dat files but it decrypts to winmail.dat.  I am running a business and sending back emails asking them to forward it gmail, seems unprofessional.  What is the recommended solution, ON THE SERVER, so Citadel Server will attach it correctly?

I am on Debian 3.2.0-3-amd64

Citadel 8.11 with WebCit 8.11, server build 8.11

there is no server solution.

the best solution is the social one; to tell your remote parts to correctly configure their email client:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138053/EN-US

the next best solution might be to configure your browser to do this job for you:

http://www.spocom.com/users/gjohnson/mutt/#tnef

(like this guy does it for his mutt mua you can also register mimetype handlers within i.e. iceweasel)

KDE-Pim and Claws-mail also seem to have support for this.

I s there a way to create , for all the users and future ones, an imap folder with the same name?

Like the inbox, sent, calendar, notes, etc...

I need this because i configured asterisk to use the imap folder to store the voicemail messages (as explained in the guide available at citadel.org) and so it would be useful to have every userwith a folder (let's call it "voicemail") where asterisk can store the messages...

how do i achieve this without haveng to create the folder for every usere every time?

thanx.

well, that would require a little hacking.

void do_login(void)
and copy the line

        CtdlCreateRoom(MAILROOM, 4, "", 0, 1, 0, VIEW_MAILBOX);
to a line with the name of your preference.

in user_ops.c that is.

Thank you very much.

This has to be done and then recompile/install the entire citadel server?

or is there an easier way ?

I've run into this issue for a few months now.  My SENT ITEMS are not being copied back to the server SENT ITEMS folder. However, if I restart the server it may sometimes work.  They aren't at the CLI Citadel interface or in the gui IMAP application either.

Does this have something to do with PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20100525/suhosin.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20100525/suhosin.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 being repeated thousands of time sin the AIDE box?  it has the heading of Cron <root@carbon14online> [ -x /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime ] && [ -d /var/lib/php5 ] && find /var/lib/php5/ -depth -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type f -ignore_readdir_race -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime) ! -execdir fuser -s {} 2>/dev/null \; -delete

Is there any hope in future updates (for citadel-server) to have this process streamlined to make it easier on admins and end users? Outlook(and Windows Mail) are probably two of the largest email clients out there and tying users to use Claws-mail or KDE doesn't seem like the best option available.

Well the easy way to find out if you have to recompile or not is to add the line (backup the .c file first) and see if creating a new users gives you the folders that you want.  If it doesn't then you would probably have to recompile.

What I can't tell you is Citadel is calling user_ops.c or if it calls it after it's compiled into it, but the above is how you would find out.
