We'd like to use either POP fetching or piping

We're testing POP fetching now

How can we limit access to the hesk_pop3.php file to just admin so as to prevent outsiders from triggering mail retrieval?

Thanks

The easiest way of doing it is to simply rename "hesk_pop3.php" to a hard to guess name (hesk_k498faskl489tu2oued89dkls.php). This way only you will know what file to call.

Another approach would be protecting the file with a .htaccess password, so when opened in a browser it would require a password whereas when called locally (with Cron) it would still work fine.

okay, thanks
