This is crazy! Every time a sent email gets rejected, undeliverable, Citadel sends "Delivery Status Notification (Failure)" notices at one per minute. Last time this happened we got 1500 notices. Anyone else experience that and is there a solution?
I recently upgraded to 929 using EasyInstall on a CentOS VPS.
I don't know if this was happening before or not.
I created a task for the current day, but it does not show up on the Summary page. I also tried creating a task without any date associated with it and again it does not show up on the Summary page. Any ideas what this could be?
Thank you
I just tested this on Uncensored as well with the same results

Hello,
today I setup an Apache webserver on my Pi.
After this I installed Citadel.
When I try to access Citadel from my web browser, I got the 503 message:
What can I do or what did I have done wrong?
This program was unable to connect or stay connected to the Citadel server. Please report this problem to your system administrator.
What can I do or what did I have done wrong?
Thank you
I have a fresh install of Citadel on a rpi 4, and every time I try to send an email, I get the error:
A message you sent has not been delivered to some or all of its recipients.
Citadel will continue attempting delivery for five days.
The following addresses were undeliverable:
asdfsafas@afasdfsafsadfsadf.asdf: 421()
Hi,
I have just been installing PHP7 for a project on my raspberry pi (owncloud) and have overwritten the index file so that when I enter my domain url, instead of loading up the webcit log in page, I get Apache2 Debian Default Pag.
Is there any way to get the webcit /var/www/html/index.html page back?
HEllo!
I am configuring a citadel server, everything seems to work for the most part, but when I deleted a user from the web interface, and then wanted to recreate it, it complains that user already exists, although I don't see it in the user list anymore. I tried restarting everything, same. Is there a way to refresh/force this properly? (command line ?) Thank you!

Try it again. The remnants of that user's record was probably purged overnight and you can create it again now.

back?
WebCit doesn't have a /var/www/html/index.html page, because it uses its own self-contained web server.
Do a "netstat -lnp" and see what's listening on port 80. If "httpd" (Apache) has port 80, WebCit can't use it, and vice versa. You have to choose which web server is going to listen on port 80, and move the other one to another port.
Is there a method to give a specified user access to another users email for audit purposes? Hopefully without the watched person knowing?
thanks
Mike
Subject: Re: Access to other users mail
that user account. Just configure it not to download the emails, not to
mark them as read and not to delete anything on the server. (Thunderbird)
Try a new account, fill it with emails and try this method in
thunderbird. You will see that the user's email client does not perceive
this action.(I think)
I do this to organize the mailbox of a user who receives hundreds of
emails a week. The user uses POP (but I already checked with another
user who uses IMAP) to download his mail; and so he doesn't have to
re-download the thousands of emails in case he needs to reinstall his
computer.
Then, when I see that the emails have already been "read/downloaded" by
the user; I simply move the old ones to the archive folder.

Subject: Re: housekeeping: WARNING: housekeeping loop has not run for 2467 minutes.
Presumably related to the housekeeping loop issue, there seems to be a general problem with my Citadel system where idle sessions are not cleared up and just stay alive indefinitely. This is causing the CPU usage to max out and eventually bring down the entire box (not just citserver).
I noticed that the 'Maximum concurrent sessions' setting was unlimited (as far as I know it has always been set to 0), so I changed it to 20. However, Citadel soon hits 20 sessions and stops accepting SMTP mail or allowing IMAP logons or webcit logins until restarted manually.
syslog contains 'context: scheduled 20 idle sessions for termination'
The box it is running on is:
Operating system: Debian Linux 10 (32 bit)
Processor: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU D525 @ 1.80GHz, 4 cores
RAM: 2GB RAM
Is anyone else facing this issue or am I just lucky?
The problem still exists, I have with a new installation of citadel 929 on
raspberrypi 3 with a fresh raspbian - based on debian buster.
I could sponsor a new raspberrypi to citadel.org to test it.

I have Citadel installed on two networks sandboxed (no internet) and also on a network with internet. For some reason Citadel takes too long to load on the sandboxed network but no problems on the network with internet access. What could be the cause?
DNS resolution most likely, If you have no DNS service at all, a lot of services are going to be painfully slow to respond.
Try adding some local dns entries in /etc/hosts or router, or whatever is pretending to be your dns.. (that will fix slow ssh logins also.

For some reason Citadel takes too long to load on the sandboxed network but no problems on the network with internet access. What could be the cause?
Forgot to mention that each network does have it's own DNS server.
When doing an nslookup by domain or IP I get an immediate response, same with curl or did commands. The latency is when I use the browser to get to Citadel mail.
Is the browser on the citadel box, or a different one? Is there any delay connected locally or remotely with the text client? Try both.
Either case, I'd have a terminal open with top or htop, maybe another with tail -f syslog .. then hit webcit iwith the browser and watch what happens. Get as much info together as you can.. Isolate the problem to a realm.
Modern browsers do weird things. also, "extensions" like "ghostery" and "adblock" and "https everywhere" . Slow to me says "resolution timeout" .. not citserver. which is always "really fast".
I notice I can't even hit a local server with a browser anymore until I literally type in "HTTP:\\mylocal.server", the full url, with scheme, at least ONE TIME. Because most browsers want to assume it's public site, try to decide if i's a query, try to do a prefectch. ask you if you want to order from amazoom, send passwords to grooogle, or any other of the things that they like to do, so try it with something like lynx and see if you get the same result.
That's how I would proceed. Then compare your findings to your public box. It shouldn't be too hard to isolate. Also, "right click" "inspect element" "Network" and "reload" Check the actual request thats going out, and see whats its doing in the waterfall..
Might not be citadel at all. If it turns out to be that, I'd take a close look at your disk media. That is, if dns does not turn out to be the issue after all. I'd still make sure there are some entries in hosts on the server box EVEN IF YOU DON'T THINK YOU NEED THEM.
A lot of things depend on that even with fake names and spoofed dns servers. The key to understanding will be found by "ssh". if it's slow to get to by ssh, you need a hosts entry for your loopback interface to "server.name" on the server box.
