On it! Server option completed already (it was just a couple extra
lines of code) so we just need to go through the user interfaces adding
that switch in. Look for it in the next release.
Look for Citadel 997 arriving tomorrow (January 30) with your requested feature available. The SMTP server will have a configurable option to offer STARTTLS.
If I haven't mentioned it yet, the reason we don't offer STARTTLS by default on port 25 is because offering TLS with an invalid certificate will cause a lot of senders to refuse to talk to your server. So definitely only enable this option if you have a valid and trusted certificate.

Right ... unfortunately WebCit does not have HTTP-to-HTTPS redirection built in. If that is something you need you will have to generate the redirect from another web service.
Thank you for your answer.
Yes, this is what I am looking for. May be it would be worth to add this feature in the future to the webserver imbedded into Webcit.
It seems that the only solution of this kind now would be to proxy via Nginx. (I don't have experience with Docker)
But I prefer to have as little middlemen as possible. :-)

This is good news!
I have a trusted certificate and would keep it only that way.
Would you tell me where to find the setting of this feature?

Subject: Problems when choosing a non-standard installation location.
Dear developers, dear community,
I usually install citadel by build script file "install.sh" to a non-standard location. The 'install.sh" defines at the beginning three basic path variables, namely SUPPORT, CITADEL and WEBCIT that hold the basic pathes to ctdlsupport, citadel and webcit, respectively. So in order to install to a non-standard location ideally I only have to change the values of the three path variables. But unfortunately "install.sh" uses some pathes that don't rely on those path variables like those listed below:
PERMSTESTDIR=/usr/local/ctdltest.$$
mkdir /usr/local/ctdlsupport 2>/dev/null
mkdir /usr/local/citadel 2>/dev/null
mkdir /usr/local/webcit 2>/dev/null
find /usr/local/ctdlsupport | grep -i ical | xargs rm -v 2>/dev/null
find /usr/local/ctdlsupport | grep -i expat | xargs rm -v 2>/dev/null
find /usr/local/ctdlsupport | grep -i curl | xargs rm -v 2>/dev/null
find /usr/local/ctdlsupport | grep -i sieve | xargs rm -v 2>/dev/null
/usr/local/citadel/setup </dev/tty >/dev/tty 2>/dev/tty || die
ExecStart=/usr/local/webcit/webcit -pWEBCIT_PORT uds /usr/local/citadel
ExecStart=/usr/local/webcit/webcit -s -pWEBCITS_PORT uds /usr/local/citadel
And thats the reason why the installtion proces allways stopes unsuccessfully.
Could you please make all does pathes rely on the basic path variables mentioned above? So whenever my installation pathes differ from the standard pathes the build script runs smoothly and installs all software successfully.
Thanks and good night

You can find it in WebCit on the System Administration screen, and in the text client under <.A>dmin <S>ystem-configuration <G>eneral. The option is called "
Advertise STARTTLS on the SMTP port" or "Offer STARTTLS".

Easy Install wasn't intended to be used like that ... but if you want to submit a patch we can consider it.
hello all, where do I go to change the ports used for https? I want to change the port I used for the initial setup, and I can't find this option anywhere.
Thanks,
Mark

You can either run setup again (from /usr/local/webcit) or you can simply edit the port number in /etc/systemd/system/webcit-https and reload that service.

Hi, I'm new to Citadel, and was wondering if it'd be possible to rebrand the citadel web page to possibly have custom images and colors?
If not that's understandable but it'd be nice to know how to do that.
Thanks in advance,

All of the web assets are in the static/ directory. You can override the CSS template with a local one and make whatever customizations you like.
Subject: Sending mail to restictive sites like gmail (DKIM?)
I have issues where sending mail to @gmail addresses never gets delivered but doesn't bounce. I think I need to set up the DNS to allow this but I don't know how to set it up. Any tips?

Hello,
if I restart from webinterface citadel crashes and web isn't reachable
after server reboot citadel is up and running again and webinterface is reachable
seems that citadel shutdown instead of restarting
if I enter "sudo service citadel start" in console I can access webinterface again

Check your logs to see if gmail actually accepted the mail. If it did, the recipient probably has the messages in their spam folder. Google are absolute nazis when it comes to filtering.
Citadel doesn't currently support DKIM but you should definitely do all of the other things:
1. Make sure your forward and reverse DNS agree with each other
2. Set up an SPF record to tell the world where legitimate mail from your domain originates
3. Set up a DMARC record to tell the world that your SPF record is really true

Hi,
In my set-up, I have always used a different outgoing host for my mail clients. Now, I would like to start using Citadel also for outgoing mail.
I understand, That I need to create a smart host; this smart host will be the same as my previous outgoing host for SMTP.
The outgoing hosts requires login/password, and also requires that all mail has this login in the From:-header.
So, for example, for outgoing host smtp.abc.com, I need to log-in with Abcname@abc.com, and all mail needs to come from Abcname@abc.com. For outgoing host smtp.def.com, I need to log-in with defname@def.com, and all mail needs to come from defname@def.com.
Anyone knows how to configure that?
