I recommend that the data directory and attahchments directory be outside the public_html directory so they will not be browsable by the public. I futher recommend that you create an attachments directory separate from the data directory. It's cleaner that way, and also better if you ever need to run cronjobs to purge the attachments director. As an aside, I find that with SquirrelMail 1.4.9a which I now use, the attachments directory ends up with old orphaned files much, much less frequently than when I used 1.4.4. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
