Well, for starters, you posted your request for Citadel help in the Lobby, which the support page clearly says not to do. I have moved your request to the Citadel Support room. I hope you find your way here.

You need to let us know where you read the instructions and what installation method you used (Easy Install, Docker, compiled from source, etc). Also if you used the .deb packages in the Raspberry Pi OS repositories you will have to start over, as those packages are very old and unsupported.

Are you saying that I should switch to something like Ubuntu?

Darryl.

curl http://easyinstall.citadel.org/install | sudo bash

Does Citadel have fetaures t check for junk mail and prevent relaying options?

Thank you.

As I messed up the root password for Citadel, is there a way to edit the password file or do I have to rebuild the system?

TIA, Darryl.

I am trying use the aerc email client with my citadel server (version 957).  Aerc works fine with my gmail account (trying to get rid of that).

Aerc connects and displays the imap folders and the number of messages in each folder but does not retrieve the messages.  The aerc logs are showing the following error:

2022/08/30 17:50:07 Opening INBOX

2022/08/30 17:50:08 (ui)<= *types.Done(37):*types.FetchDirectoryContents(35)

I think that the message, "Found 0 UIDs" might be what is causing the problem.

I don't see any errors in the citadel syslog so I am wondering how to enable a different logging level to show citadel's debug logs?

Or if anyone has any other ideas or possible experience getting the aerc client to work?

Thank you

Follow up: I am currently using mbsync/isync to download from imap to a local maildir which I then configured the aerc client to access.

Hello again everyone!

I have another problem I hope you can help me solve. I have gotten pidgin to act as a client for the XMPP server on my citserver, but I am having an issue accessing it on Thunderbird.

Thunderbird has a few pages to the setup wizard and I tried to duplicate the settings in your pidgin howto. I am filling in my entries below with the same info in your howto.

[1]

Username: ignatiustfoobar

Domain: uncensored.citadel.org

[2]

Password: *******

[3]

Local Alias

---------------------

Alias:

XMPP Options

---------------------

Resource: home

Priority: 0

Connection Security: (Dropdown){Require encryption}

Server: uncensored.citadel.org

Port: 5022

Would these presumably be correct? When I enter these values the client hangs on "Connecting" Initializing encryption..."

I've been running citadel 929 for a while now on a linux mint 20.1 system.  While investigating certificates it says I should upgrade to 942 or newer.  If I look at the software manager on the Mint system it appears that the version available is very old.

I read the manual install instructions, and while I get the make upgrade vs make install part, I am at a loss as to a number of other things I would need to do to manually install it.  So clearly I'm not admin enough for that path.

I originally installed using the easy install method.  My question is, is there an Easy Upgrade to go with that, or if I just use the Easy Install will it do an upgrade rather than completely reinstall the packages?

Thanks.

I am trying to find the correct file to add authentication to STMP outgoing email on my local Citadel server

Where do you add the following code?

https://citadel.org/relay.html

where is the text client?

i just i just don't really see a place to add it to CIT WEB

Hello! i'm trying to set an adress for one of my users and i get this error: (i've changed the names)

Oct  1 17:44:47 Mail citserver[120]: citserver[120]: user_ops: address <username@example.com> already belongs to <Use R. Name> - not using

and that's all fine but the "Use R. Name" person doesn't exist. its not in any registered user list or contact list.. it may have been an old account that was deleted for this user to solve an issue but either way... i can't find this user to delete. its not a registered user or anything. how can i get into the database to force remove it? or better yet... how can i just force set this user to have this address and have it auto remove it from the one that doesn't exist?

Hey all,

Discovered citadel a few months ago and loving it as a localhost email server for an interactive theatre show I'm making. The problem that I've got at the moment is that I'd like to find a way to purge all emails from every account on the server on command without deleting the accounts? I need to purge the entire server every hour or so between shows so auto-purging once a day wouldn't be enough.

Thanks

Hello there,

I just installed Citadel on a RP4, and I also have a 1TB ssd added on and mounted in Raspberry Pi OS.

I would like to move Citadel to the SSD so that it has plenty of room. How would I do this? I am still in the setup phase, no users on it, so if I need to reinstall, I can.

Thanks,

Bobby

Should I be able to connect to a mail account over IMAP and SMTP after setting up citadel?

I see this:

Oct  3 21:21:39 xxxxxxx citserver[351272]: citserver[351272]: context: session (SMTPs-MTA) started from xxxxxxxxxx (xxxxxxxxx) uid=-1
Oct  3 21:21:39 xxxxxxx citserver[351272]: context: session (SMTPs-MTA) started from xxxxxxxxx (xxxxxxxxxxxx) uid=-1

but the connection hangs
