No, you shouldn't change your config file, it is good. What I am saying is that when you send it in an email to this list, you should obscure your address, because anyone can view it -- thus it is possible that spammers get your SMTP address and try to use it as a spam relay (make sure it's not an open relay...) > > Also, you have your data and attachments directories set up as: > > > > $data_dir = '../data/'; > > $attachment_dir = "../attachments/"; > > > > It would be wise to move these outside the htdocs tree (put them in a > > directory not accessible through apache, like for instance, > > /var/squirrelmail or something like that). > > Okay, I will.

Just make sure that there is NOTHING after "?>". If you open the file using vi, you should see this: -----<snip>----- $debug = 0; ?> ~ ~ ~ -----<snip>----- And to test this, please remove the version of redirect.php that I sent you. I will send you another one if this still isn't working.
