Good day,
I finally got email sending to work with using and external SMTP service but it will only process email from known address. I have auto forward setup and it forward emails to the service perfectly but maintains the original From address. Is there away to only have my domain email address in the from. My SMTP service only allows email from specific email address from my domain.

Attached is a sample of a forwarded email from Citadel and from Thunderbird. In the Citadel forward email it has included the original sender in the forward address line. In the Thunderbird forwarded email it has not. IMO Citadel is incorrectly forming the forward messages as it basically changing it instead of leaving intact.

(We're on it now, in fact. That's why I'm writing in DKIM signature support, which will appear in a new version of Citadel coming in just a few days.)
Hi,
I was checking my mail server (due to some domains saying they are no receiving my mail) and found that mxtoolbox reported that my server doesnt support TLS. How can I check this? I have a cert set up in the correct folder.
"Your SMTP email server does advertise support for TLS. After connecting to your mail server we issue an EHLO command to introduce ourselves and to request that your server announce which commands and protocols it supports. Your server's response did not include "250-STARTTLS" indicating TLS support."
thanks
Craig.
that may be better over in the support room..
Hi, I'm am receiving an error on mxtoolbox. I do have a certificate set up so not sure what's happening here.
regards,
Craig.
SMTP TLS | Warning - Does not support TLS. |
We don't advertise TLS by default because it's actually worse if you advertise that capability and don't have a valid certificate. But, assuming your certificate is valid, you can set the configuration key "smtp_advertise_starttls" to a nonzero value, and Citadel Server will announce STARTTLS as an ESMTP option.
In the WebCit interface it's Administration --> Edit Site-Wide Configuration --> SMTP, and then to rhe right of the SMTP port number there's a checkbox "Offer STARTTLS" that you can check.
If you're having trouble getting mail delivered, you'll also be happy to know that Citadel 1000 (yes, a nice round version number) was published last night and contains support for DKIM-signing outbound email. That should be a big step forward in getting mail past the Goostapo.
Hi,
I tried installing Citadel on a fresh load of Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop with GUI. The Easy install script dies during the config admin username stage. Is there a script log which shows what failed? Citadel server is running, but webcit appears to be missing.

<Citadel administrator username:>
Please enter the name of the Citadel user account that should be granted administrative privileges once created. If using internal authentication this user account will be created if it does not exist. For external authentication this user account has to exist.
This is currently set to:
admin
Enter new value or press return to leave unchanged:
admin
Citadel Easy Install is aborting.
The last few lines above this message may indicate what went wrong.
Hey again Citadel experts,
Recently I've had this odd behavior show up on WebCit -- it actually showed up on my Debian test server, but was not present on the initial production system install, running Ubuntu 23.10.
Yep, it originally worked fine and then.. bam.. broke.. and hasn't worked right since. Currently on 1000. Display doesn't work regardless of browser, system, etc...
More than a little strange to me and while a minor annoyance an annoyance nonetheless.
Wouldn't be surprised if this isn't a trivial fix that's been documented here before but I failed at finding it if so so yeah... as always help appreciate.
I deleted the installation and started from scratch with Easy Install using wget. The install scripts stalls at "Restarting Citadel server". In a separate console, I can see the citadel.service in systemd, but webcit and webcits is missing. After adding the services manually, the everything appears to be working, but there is clearly a problem with the setup utility on Unbuntu 22.04. Cheers.
