Hello, I setup my own mailserver and its kinda weird how its setup but ill try to explain. I have a mailserver at mail.domain.com and its sending mail for my domain domain.com. The server is self hosted and a PTR record for my IP is set to the ISP's domain but that domain is pointed to my IP which makes my email panel accesible via the ISP's domain the only issue is that im receiving a 550-5.7.25 error. Can someone help me setup the right DNS records?

My current DNS records are:

mail.domain.com.    1    IN    A !MYIP!

domain.com.    1    IN    MX    10 mail.domain.com.

domain.com.    1    IN    TXT    "v=spf1 ip4:!MYIP! -all"

and when I run dig on my IP

!ReversedIP!.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN     PTR     !ReversedIP!.ISP.com

And some DMARC and domainkey records

hi,

the conftests in version 1001 (and likely all previous ones as well) need an upgrade. they fail with compilers which default to c99 due to formalities and hence the actual check fails even if it would actually pass.

conftest.c:25:3: error: type specifier missing, defaults to 'int'; ISO C99 and later do not support impli
cit int [-Wimplicit-int]
   25 |         main() {
      |         ^
      |         int
conftest.c:29:4: error: call to undeclared library function 'exit' with type 'void (int) __attribute__((n
oreturn))'; ISO C99 and later do not support implicit function declarations [-Wimplicit-function-declarat
ion]
   29 |                 exit(0);
      |                 ^
conftest.c:29:4: note: include the header <stdlib.h> or explicitly provide a declaration for 'exit'

skeleton so far:

main() {
    exit(0);
}

should be:

#include <stdlib.h>
int main() {
    exit(0);
}

Dear All,

1st I had to delete or move (to a local folder (Thunderbird)) 2 months of sent and received emails. I done such operation with Thunderbird.

2nd The data folder (/usr/local/citadel/data) had 2.6GBytes occupied.

3rd With that operation many log files were generated and the disk became full (about 9 GBytes in data folder). Citadel became unusable. I used a old data backup to recover.

Could you provide a solution for this do not happen again? Perhaps do not generate the log files.

Thanks for the support that will be provided,

Luís Gonçalves.

Hi,

I've just set up Citadel on 2 VPS servers after years of dicking around with Postfix, Dovecot and MySQL.

I'm baffled as to how to set up for users with different domains.

If I have 4 domains, xyz.com, fxy.com, zfx.com and zyy.com, how do I configure email user accounts for them? If I have 4 guys called dave and each of them has an account at each domain, how do I set it up?

Many thanks,

Dave Coventry

Thanks.

Clearly, the user names have to be diffierent on Citadel.

Previously, I had dave@xyz.com as the username, but Citadel removes the @sign.

My users all currently have their full email address as their username. Is there any way to do this?

there was a similar question in an earlier thread, which had a solution.  i have not found it yet. but i do believe it was in this room a couple of weeks ago.

Dear Citadel Support,

I noticed that the LATEST update is missing an important FEATURE

When you view as a "Bulletin Board", there is no search.

Can you please add that back on!?!?!?

I think that this problem was solved in the last version of Thunderbird for Windows (Nebula).

Previous version deleted email by email generating big logs.

This new version deletes a group of emails at once generating no so much (big space) logs files.

Hi,

I've been using citadel on and off for a while now, and so far, the experience is great. I was installing citadel on another system for another use case, and just found out there's a docker version. I pulled the image, like the commands on the site say, and now it's stuck in a loop trying to start webcit:

ctdlvisor: pid=278 exited, status=25856, exitcode=101
ctdlvisor: webcit (HTTP) running on pid=279
ctdlvisor: executing webcit (http)
ctdlvisor: pid=279 exited, status=25856, exitcode=101
ctdlvisor: webcit (HTTP) running on pid=280
ctdlvisor: executing webcit (http)

and so on for every other PID that isn't being used. I can't find anything on how to solve this. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Support,

There  is another feature that disappeared.

The SEARCH function for the bulletin style email reader.

So here it works under MAIL

Then it DISAPPEARS under the show as BULLETIN board style. I also found it to be really handy to be able to read emails like a bulletin board then be able to find key words in my emails.

Thanks!
