It seems to be slow and unresponsive again at this time. DDOS attack back?

If so you would think people would have enough dignity and respect not to screw with peoples communication with their families on Christmas eve. /rant

Yup, seems to be getting low ddos attacks -_- but its almost like this 24\7 :/
OP: If you're running this on vps, why you don't buy ddos protection?
I'm sure you don't get higher ddos attacks than 10-15 gbps :c

Hi yes we had to disable squirrelmail again
and currently there are a lot of junk requests to roundcube, draining most of the Tor Hidden Service traffic.
Since the attack is targeting RIB's Hidden Services, all we can see is traffic coming from 127.0.0.1 (that's how Tor HS works)
hence is impossible to discriminate and filter the offensive clients.
Also, the datacenter DDOS filter is useless in this scenario: we already have DDOS protection but it doesn't protect Tor Hidden Services,
it protects only from usual clearnet attacks.
For reference, we got some confirms here: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2014-August/034341.html

We have now disabled our Tor Hidden Services and restored squirrelmail, thus we are currently accepting traffic only from and to clearnet.
You can reach the clearnet service here: https://ruggedinbox.com

I read about ruggedinbox in \r\privacy subreddit of reddit.com. Thank you for providing such a private email client.  

I have an android 2.3.4 phone and android 4.4.2 tablet. Opera Classic browser and Firefox 34.0.1 browser can render ruggedinbox.com website. However, orweb browser and lighting browser cannot.  Lighting browser error message: "Website not available."  Orweb's error message: "Website not available."  Are other users getting these error messages?

Tnx finally i can use it

The emails I am sending from my ruggedinbox.com account were rejected by a company because they didn't come from my registered email account. The emails I sent came from vmail@ruggedinbox.com. Is my account hacked? Do I need to close it?

[Somedday]

I am so happy to have run across Ruggedinbox!
This is just what my family was looking for. 
So tired of data mining. 
So, thanks to the team who has created this!!!!

So, I was wondering if there was a "Claws For Dummies" book or something.
I am trying to configure Claws and just do not understand what goes where
in the configuration settings.  My family has always used Yahoo and Gmail,
using the web interface.  But now, in order to be private, we would like to use
Claws to pull the email from the server to our personal drives using POP3.  Even though
our email server is offshore, if nothing is ever stored there, the better.

Is there a place that describes how to configure Claws?

Thanks again for the great system.

Hi, your account was not hacked and we are aware of this problem.
The emails sent from RIB have an additional header, that 'vmail' sender, which is added by the script that limits daily emails.
Some systems, like ebay, have problems with this.
The fix isn't straightforward but we'll dig into this again and let users know if positive.

Thanks for your interest!

Hi and welcome!
Currently we don't have any step-by-step howto,
anyway be sure to use the following parameters:

Host: ruggedinbox.com
IMAP (TLS) port: 993
POP (TLS) port: 995
SMTP (TLS) port: 465

and be sure to always use the complete address of your account: username@ruggedinbox.com

also, in SSL, check 'Use SSL for POP3 connection'
and check 'Use non blocking SSL'.


Thanks for your interest and wish you a great 2015!

Thanks for explaining vmail. Ebay was the only company to reject my emails, so I wont use with Ebay.

Thanks offering squirrelmail to give option to disable javascript to make us safer. Squirrelmail website works very well using opera or firefox for android. Roundcube does not. I cannot open emails.

I have several android devices. Everytime I set up my email account, K-9 reports : "Unrecognized Certificate. The server presented an invalid certificate." Should K-9accept the key anyway?

Hi! Our smtp, pop and imap services are still using the self-signed certificate.
Only the web server (https) is using the valid SSL certificate.
Some time ago we discussed internally about this and decided that since we don't trust CAs
and since no user is complaining, we'll continue to use the self-signed certificate.

That said, ideally the mail client (K-9) should be able to import the certificate
in order to stop prompting that question.

[badbiosvictim]

Thanks for the SSL explanation. After accepting the SSL key, K-9 does not prompt any more.  I recommend including explanation on websites so users will not worry about K-9 warning. thanks.

  Send
  Use STARTTLS command to start SSL session: selected
  Client certificates

You have given me hope!  

I now have this message:

* Account 'xxxxxxr@ruggedinbox.com': Connecting to POP3 server: ruggedinbox.com...
*** SSL handshake failed
*** Connection failed.

I made sure the Use non-blocking SSL is unchecked.
Tried again and had the same issue.
I can login to this account via webmail, but not in claws.

What should I check next?

Thanks.

Hi! Ok we'll provide a step-by-step guide on claws-mail configuration asap

[Somedday]

 

I think this is a very good idea!

There is a youtube video about Claws, and it is pretty good.  But, there is no way to include each provider's custom account information in the video.

Some of us are using Tails.  If there are any special considerations for this, please add it in your instructions too.   

Thanks again!

Hi, we found the source of the problem, it wasn't your fault!
When hardening the imap/pop service (dovecot) against the recent POODLE vulnerability, we followed the advise to disable SSL2 and SSL3
but that is giving problems with some email clients.

we'll fix this asap, sorry about that.
