Squirrelmail Attachments Directory

[snowweb]

Hi,

In /var/www/html/squirrelmail-1.4.19/config/config.php the following paths are set,

$data_dir='/var/local/squirrelmail/data/'
$attachment_dir='/var/local/squirrelmail/data/'

I notice that in my data directory, I now have lots of stange items. Like these:

Vpy4VuovcwcvQKcKMRLbCPVVNqDQTk8T
w4a0k8weYhprhOmfMkBsXSHiNxGB5gW9
WDOnfxcMBojIJCXKAHyWiXoWtkwwMbLM
WOxY6MMS1a7SwEbHrL3orxf4FM8Ob2nL
WT1f9A5Sg78tqnmCeIYejZyigCNjNpSZ
WtyHkk9ONBtplYgiEpQFqeBSYMYH9XtI

Are these attachments?

If so, are they included in the users storage quotas since they are not within their home directories?

If they are email attachments, what is the best place to store them and if I set a new path in the above config.php file, will the setting be lost next time I update Squirrelmail with Custombuild?

Thanks,

pete

Solved

I found some explanations to the attachments path. Apparently it is only temporary storage for the attachments during the sending process. I have changed the path to it's own directory now and set the permissions to 733 as the documentation said.

I guess now it will be able to delete the attachments afterwards.
