Triggering LC scripts when emails are received

[Peter W A Wood]

Hi Mattias

I believe that it is safer to install executables outside the public_html directory as it gives the possibility for somebody who knows how to run their scripts on your server. I don't know how to do that but I have a /bin directory at the same level  as public_html for executables which can be made more secure.

Regards

Peter
