You installed and configured TLS 1.3 on your Server ?

It is Centos 9 and the last version of openssl.
I analyzed better and in my server SMTP requires TLS. And I suppose that those errors are from servers with bad TLS or something near that. Because the server messages before those errors are from connections from outside servers. Also I have another port in SMTP-SSL, originally from other service. Perhaps that.

That error can appear if someone is attempting to connect to your encrypted ports without using SSL/TLS.
I've had that problem over here as well. My recommendation to you is that if you are not using the POP3S, IMAPS, etc. ports, set their port numbers to -1 to disable them.

Sorry again.
This night happened again. More coredumps. I updated the citadel. It installed and compiled a version but it remained the same version number. Did that attended my problem?
If not a send the new coredumps.

citadel problem for me.
Agreed, this doesn't seem like a failure mode related to Citadel itself.
Something else is wrong with the system. Any log messages giving a clue?
Wich filesystem you are using ? ext4 or something else ? do you use disk encryption ?
Maybe there are changes in kernel for system drivers ? when you have done the last update to your kernel ? wich kernel you are using ?
So many questions :D
GreetingsMike

Unfortunately, your core dumps are not useful to anyone because they are specific to your citserver binary. I suppose if you include your citserver binary it might be useful, otherwise a stack trace is better.
In your case, we're just seeing so many weird things on your system that don't happen anywhere else. It's difficult to pin down why. I would strongly suggest that you give some consideration to moving to the containerized version of the Citadel system. It is lovingly built for you in a carefully controlled environment. Perhaps switch to the container version, and if necessary, do a ctdldump/ctdlload on your existing data.
And of course take lots of backups before doing anything.
I've got problem with turning on citadel server. It was working but from a day not. When I tried to turn it on have:

From what I undersatnd there is a problem with reading email id=11041. Is there a way to remove it from database manually? It's Berkley DB from what I notice but i'm not able to do this... Could someone give me a tip?

Ok, I was able to turn it on. dumped all DB to file. Removed somehow all records with "11040" and load it back to server. Looks like it do the trick.

Stack trace would be far more helpful than what you are currently trying to do. Since you seem to have the ability to produce core dumps, you are halfway there already.
After a core dump, do this:
gdb /usr/local/citadel/citserver core.xxxxxxxxx (use the name of your core file)
The debugger will open, and show you where it crashed. Now type:
thread apply all bt
And post the output. it should show lots of filenames and line numbers.
Hi,
two problems to solve - could you please give me a tip:
1. After sending email, massage goes to SMTP queue. I should expect that it will be send stright after. In my server email will be send after 8-10minutes. There is big delay. I notice also that:
next attempt to send have date "sty 01 1970". Server date is correct. Is this connected?
2. After my problem with server hang (few weekes ago I send here information about that) I notice that in "Aida" directory there are planty of meassages to today. Server is generating it reapetly after few minutes:
How I can remove this from queue? Where is is coz it should be somewhere and can not find it.
