Hi,

I am totally new to osTicket and need some advice on emails and security.

I installed osT for the very first time and love it, I managed to get email piping up and running with no problems at all.

However, this caused me a little concern...

"Make pipe.php executable chmod 755 pipe.php"

is that 755 permissions safe for a file?... as all the other .php files are chmod 644

If it's not safe.. can some help guide me on what path I should follow to make this safe? Or should I use the POP/IMAP email fetch method if that is safer?

All comments welcome...

oh and im not the most techy of ppl.. The dummies description suits me best thanks

755 means that the file owner (user who started the webserver daemon) has full rights for this file (read, write, execute), and group and other have has read and execute rights.
