Minor question, what was the flag to have webcit-http and webcit-https display a particular room (as opposed to defaulting to lobby) like Uncensored does with its wiki page? Had that going fine on a previous Citadel instance which has since been retired and I'd like to do that again for this new one but can't find the information anymore.
Thanks!

You want the "-g" flag, which allows you to pre-fill a location of your choice to use as the landing page.
For example, here we use:
webcit [other flags] -g '/dotgoto?room=Welcome to UNCENSORED!' [other arguments]
This works when you're calling WebCit directly from the host, as you would when running the Easy Install distribution, but it also works when you're running the Docker container: the "-g" flag and its argument are passed through from the caller to both WebCit instances (which is how I run it here).
Right, and has the SPA been built in such a way as to make the
back button do something that makes sense? :D
Well, it isn't implemented yet, but my plan is to follow the currently popular design pattern of pushing synthetic URLs onto the "back stack" using the History API, so that both bookmarks and the back-button behave the way a human user expects them to.
By the way, I am sorry it doesn't behave the way it ought to in webcit-classic, but with the rewrite years behind schedule I just can't afford to invest my time into the old code base. I hope you will understand. (That having been said, I won't be like the x.org people -- if someone wants to improve the old code base I'd be pleased to nurture that.)
Killer - worked a treat.
Thank ya.
So happy to be running a citadel instance again.

Subject: Send emails to certain domain with IPv4 instead of IPv6.
Dear All,
Exists or not any way to send emails for a certain domain forcing IPv4 and not using IPv6 as normal?
For any other domains remains unchanged.
Thank you,
Luís Gonçalves.

Technically you could fool it by interposing a DNS server that hands Citadel "your" preferred MX for a domain.
Did you share the URL? Is Other BBSs> a thing still?

I would like to know, if the software has a windows version?

Don't assume it's a BBS. The vast majority of Citadel instances are not.

You could run it in WSL, or in Docker on Windows.
But there's no native Windows version.

If you are looking to run a citadel server but only have Windows I provide Ubuntu hosting starting at $7/month with first month free to try it out... Get more info at https://citadelhosting.retro-os.live.

Not that it matters, and i know you cant support incoming via a TOR out-port since its out of your control, but just to add after some testing and paying better attention:
Logging in seems to work 99% of the time. But sometimes i get a 'not found' which i guess does happen sometimes. Posting, when it does not work, i finally saw the message today relating to not posting an empty post. Been taking a copy of the post first, so i can easily redo easily if it bombs. Seems like on the 3rd try it works.
I know its my problem not yours, but still be neat if you added a TOR proxy to go along with the I2P proxy. ( since i have never had any luck getting to the outside via I2P, tho i read its possible, somehow )
