Mail Filtering + Spam Detection

Mail filtering + spam detection Since 21 May, Riotcat now offers server-side mail filtering via the roundcube web interface. With these new rulesets you can also set up automatic replies or forwards. This is also the basis for spam detection. Mails considered as spam are now automatically moved to the Junk folder in the inbox. If you are missing incoming mail, please check there. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any problems!

Shutdown Matrix Dimension Service

Because the Matrix Dimension project is no longer maintained [1] and is not really needed the service is shutdown.

If your element configuration still contains a riotcat.org dimension URL consider removing it. The default config is found in ~/.config/Element/config.json or ~/.config/Riot/config.json

Bugs with Collabora and Nextcloud

Hi there! Due to some trouble with the user password based Nextcloud encryption and the collabora app (that one allows you to edit LibreOffice documents in the browser collaborative with others) the usage may be buggy and sometimes not as expected. In future I may find a way to convert the cloud’s encryption to the master key mode, which will allow us to use the current collabora version or switch to onlyoffice. Write me, if you and encounter any problems.

T-Online Mail Errors

Unfortunately there are errors when trying to send Mails to users, who use @t-online addresses. After contacting their admintration, they only will allow Riotcat.org as a sender if there is a public link to a administrative person. It is not sure, whether this will happen or not. We are sorry for any troubles.

Prosody (Jabber) Update

I updated Prosody (the software that allows you to communicate via jabber using conversations or gajim) and added the service entries for TURN and STUN, which helps the clients for video and audio calls in jabber to 1) find the participants IP address and 2) routes the video or audio data via riotcat.org. You can find further information on the xmpp compliances site: https://compliance.conversations.im/tests/ on which we now again reach 100% coverage! Yeah. Have fun and contact me if there are any problems or errors!

Updating Startpage

Today I’m announcing the rework of Riotcat.org’s startpage. At first I just wanted to add the new Matrix service, but I merge this page into a Django project for easier mantaining. If you have any feedback don’t hesitate contacting me! Also give our matrix instance a try. You find the address at the startpage and my account in the contact overview. There is also a support room if you need any help. Have fun! :)
