Hi there,

Long time lurker, first time caller.

citadel-docker/Dockerfile, line 89: --prefix=/usr needs to be --prefix=/usr/local, otherwise binary gets dumped in /usr/bin and never gets picked up by COPY in line 108.

Additionally, textclient configure doesn't set ETCDIR or output it to config.mk. Taking a guess that you'd want it in /usr/local as well.

I want to erase all old messages after a year. How do it works? I try it in webcit, but it dosnt save these settings?!

Hello,

I was running Citadel build 917 because the server side mail filters work. Today I've installed the latest build (972/974) on a fresh Linux install (Fedora 38).  I would like to retire my old server but without the filters it makes separating spam very difficult.  

I have the following filters on my old and new server:

X-Spam-Status | contains | True | Forward to | <spam email> | continue processing

X-Spam-Status | contains | True | Discard silently | stop

On the old build they work fine.  On the new build they do not work.

I started citadel with -x9 to get the full debug and here is the relative output:

Apr 28 17:42:32 xxxxxxxxxx.com citserver[47844]: citserver[47844]: inboxrules: for fladmin, messages newer than 11

Apr 28 17:42:32 xxxxxxxxxx.com citserver[47844]: citserver[47844]: inboxrules: processing rule 0 is xspamstatus

Apr 28 17:42:32 xxxxxxxxxx.com citserver[47844]: citserver[47844]: inboxrules: rule not activated

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,

Allen

I was able to get the source code of the current build loaded on the new system and I modified /citadel/server/modules/serv_inboxrules.c

When the rule is X-Spam-Status is selected the field 'compare_me' is now filled.

I compiled and installed the change and it worked properly. 

Below is the 'diff' output of the original and new serv_inboxrules.c:

diff serv_inboxrules.c orig/serv_inboxrules.c

Hi,

at my server, is a user, what is not show, i'cant delete, i'cant create new this user. citadel say: user exist. i'was read the dokumentation, but dont found a way ...

second, i'dont know how this was happen, i'was go to sleep, and today in the morning, the mail client means no login, i'dont know what was happen in the night. the only thing was the backup was running, at this VM in proxmox.

Hi,

I'was found this Info, here. But when will run this automatic task to purge useraccounts?

--- message start ---

Ok, you're working really hard on a solution and your effort is very much appreciated.  Thank you for that.

Let's try the text mode client.  Go to your host system and enter the following commands:

cd /usr/local/citadel
./citadel

This will start the console mode client.  Log in as an administrator.  It will probably start showing you messages in the Lobby.  You can hit S for "Stop" and you will get the room prompt (Lobby>).

The commands you're interested in now are "<.A>dmin <U>ser <E>dit" and probably "<.A>dmin <U>ser <D>elete".  Type the "." (period) and then the first letter of each command (A, U, etc).   At any point you can hit the "?" (question mark) to show all of the available subcommands at that level.

This is probably easier than playing around with AGUP and ASUP.  The client will send those commands to the server for you.  

Hint: if you delete a user, it actually only sets their access level to 0 (Deleted) and the actual deletion will be performed when the auto-purger runs.

So go ahead and try that.  If these commands verify that the user really does exist, and you're able to delete that account, but the email address remains unavailable, say so here and we'll figure out whether there's an actual software problem that needs to be coded around.

so, now later read here and found a solution, i'was found this auto-purge process, and set a time, but the user was not delete. still i can use <.A>dmin <U>ser <E>dit

but how often i'do this, the user dont come up in the menu again. and "<.A>dmin <U>ser <D>elete" i'was do also several times. and later let run the purge process. still the user

is there. for workaround i'was create some other user, and set with global aliases all incoming emails to this user.

so, and at this point now, i'dont know ... and nothing more to read what can help. maybe someone have a idea ..

this problem, i'dont found some solution, to get back a user, what is still there but not visible at webinterface. i'm using the internal user management. maybe something is here buggy ... i'dont know ...

Hi guys

I've installed Citadel on my Ubuntu server, it works great. Still I have two questions, hope you can help me:

As I plan to use Citadel in our AREDN Mesh Network, I don't need the login options like Yahoo, Google etc... how can I get rid of them? (where can I deactivate them, so they don't appear on the Login screen)

The screen looks like it's compressed, i.e. I don't have the "language" drop down field in the upper left corner as you see it here, but the text "en_US" shows halfway in the "summary" button. Any Idea how I could correct that? It's not sooo problematic but just looks a bit ugly.

I'm not a tech guy, especially not for Linux stuff, so if you can help me, please try do do it in a "for dummies" format ;-)

Thanks for your help in advance!

Kind regards

Kurt

i'have only the info what stay in citanews, about next versions

On the shell run sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales, and choose the languages you want.
