I'm having the same issue.  I just installed Citadel on a new system and duplicated the Server side filters and they no longer work as they did before.  I have the following selected:

X-Spam-Status  |  contains  | True  | Forward to newemail@address.com

I've checked the email and it does contain True.  It is not performing the action.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I see this was posted close to 1 yr ago, but I didn't find any answer.

I'm runnning into exactly the same issue as the op, that is, I'm trying to set a rule that checks the X-Spam-Status and sends it to a spam folder if it contains "True" (I checked the headers of a GTUBE email and it contains "True" instead of "Yes" as stated in the spamassassin documentation).

Any idea or workaround?

Thanks in advance,

 

 

Mon Apr 05 2021 08:31:30 EDT from vanadius Subject: Filter to move Messages marked by SpamAssassin

I have a working setup with SpamAssassin marking incoming Mail.

Now I want Citadel to move all marked EMails to a Spam-Folder before delivering them to the clients. As I understand it the way to do that is using the server-side mail filters. I just can't seem to get the filter to work.
I expected the filter to be like:
If |X-Spam-Status| |contains| |True| |Move message to| |Spam| and then |continue processing|

I derived the filter from the EMail headers generated by SpamAssassin (The required value is -10.0 to force the EMail as Spam)

X-Spam-Level: 
X-Spam-Status: True, score=0.8 required=-10.0

However, no EMail matches the filter. If I invert the condition (from |contains| to |does not contain|), all EMails get sent to the Spam folder, so the problem is not with in the moving messages part.

Any Ideas?

 

Just airing the way ive gone about this.

While the basic citadel setup through the admin pages is well covered i found that it was easier to just have citserver answering port 25 and sending on to the smarthost, this keeps the whole thing reliable and easy to follow things when they go wrong.

I run my citadel on rocky but as a virtual machine on a proxmox server, and proxmox also have a mailrelay server that runs as a virtual machine under proxmox.

the mailrelay does everything you are asking for and more, and has a fabulous GUI for setting it all up, although if you want to mess with its postfix main.cf you need to look at its templates as it  updates main.cf through the gui.

 

proxmox mail covers antivirus, spam, whitelists blacklists  logging, dk/dm* 

 

and its free for non commercial use.

Can anyone help on the Server-side mail filters?

I had an old install of Citadel on Centos 7 and the Service-side mail filters worked well.  Here is the filter:

X-Spam-Status | Contains | True | Forward to newemai@address.com

I've tried duplicating this on a new Centos 8 build with Citadel from the Easy Install.  The email is never forwarded.

I've tried the following:

X-Spam-Status | Contains | True | Forward to newemai@address.com

X-Spam-Status | Contains | Yes | Forward to newemai@address.com

X-Spam-Status | Contains | T | Forward to newemai@address.com

X-Spam-Status | Contains | Y | Forward to newemai@address.com

None of the above work. 

I can forward email using the Subject so that filter does work.  Unfortunately Citadel will not pick up a new subject from Spamassassin.  In other words, Spamassassin changes the subject to ****SPAM**** and citadel doesn't use the new subject.  I've verified that Spamassassin is changing the subject by running tests with Spamassassin.

I'm really stuck here and could use some help please.

Try the new version, we just did an update.

Thanks for the reply,

I didn't try the new version but I don't think the issue is resolved.  I just downloaded the source again and the problem was and still is in serv_inboxrules.c  the field 'compare_me' never gets filled for 'field_xspamstatus' at line 615.    

Last night I corrected the src and tried to re-compile using the compile from source instructions on a version of Centos 8.  The compile would not work.  The configure program does not set the folder correctly for the include files.  I corrected that issue and a few others but it still would not compile.  I gave up at that point.

I ended up reverting to an older version of Linux (Ubuntu 18.04) with an older version of Citadel (917) that could be installed with apt.  That worked.

Just tried doing an Easy Install of Citadel on Red Hat. Still getting the following error:

Error

Setup could not connect to a running Citadel server.: No such file or directory citadel-admin.socket

Not sure what's causing this error. Please advise.

Sorry if this is a duplcate.

I got this message:

Citadel Database Cleanup
---------------------------

This script exports, deletes, and re-imports your database.  If you have
any data corruption issues, this program may be able to clean them up for you.

Please note that this program does a Berkeley DB dump/load, not a Citadel
export.  The export files are not generated by the Citadel export module.

WARNING #1:
  MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATA BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS.  There is no guarantee
  that this will work (in case of disk full, power failure, program crash)!

WARNING #2:
  citserver must NOT be running while you do this.

WARNING #3:
  Please try "cd /usr/local/citadel/data; /usr/local/ctdlsupport/bin/db_recover -c" first. Run citserver afterwards to
  revalidate whether its fixed or not, No news might be good news. Use this
  tool only if that one fails to fix your problem.

WARNING #4:
  You must have an amount of free space on your disk that is at least twice
  the size of your database, see the following output:
  (for substantially better performance you should specify a location that is
   on another disk than /usr/local/citadel/data)

citserver then started OK, but the cloent usernames and passwords were not recognised,

I ran the db_baclup and db_restore commands manually and citserver has now started successfully.
Thanks for pointing out the failure.

On Red Hat Enterprise.

First of all, thanks for your response. I had not seen it till after trying to install again and got back the same error indicated in previous message. So I followed your instructions and this is what I got back. I also checked the status of citadel service which indicated that it failed to start as you can see.

hi guys

when I  putty into my server I get these broadcast messages

Message from syslogd@citadel at Jun 16 18:00:58 ...
 citserver[4312]: db: cdb_store(8): BDB0075 DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found

THis is clearly not good!

so the dump and restore of the database didnt seem to have fixed my issue, and I know if I stop citserver it wont start up properly

any Ideas on how I should progress?

Regards

Kim

Some further thoughts,

When I set this Citadel server up a few years ago I used a set of migrate commands that dumped the database as XML and then imported the XML,

does anyone know how I can find those commands?

I also recall that because of the size of the database, and the slowness of the servers I had to set a timeout parameter otherwise the actions failed,

but of course I dodnt write anything down so I cant remember what I did!

The program is called "ctdlmigrate" and you run it on the *receiving* system.

And I have good news: this program was substantially re-engineered last year and it is far more performant and reliable than it used to be. We removed the troublesome SSH transport and replaced it with a direct Citadel-to-Citadel connection.

Here's a documentation page showing the instructions, including a pretty screenshot!
[ https://www.citadel.org/how_do_i_move_citadel_to_another_host.html

Thanks for this, however I have an older version of the server running (929), and the documents suggest that the sending and receiving servers should be the same version.  Also on a different note I have some Thunderbird users who have accessed the Citade server as a IMAP server, they ran compact which seemed to delete messages on the citadel server, have these messages really been deleted or are they still i the database somewhere, and can they be recovered?

Hello all!

I got Citadel working with my IPA server for LDAP auth. Now for email.

It appears Citadel did not install any email services.

Do I need to install Dovecot/Postfix to complete the email solution?

Someone smarter than me about the inner workings will reply soon i'm sure, but no you dont need to install a mail service as email is integrated.
