$.02:  I think this is increasingly becoming the wrong approach.  The 
interface allows for files to be placed in any [sub]directory of the 
admins choosing.  For instance, take a look at my [preferred] directory 
structure off the ASSP base:

----------
bak
bin
blackholes
clamav
corpus
databases
images
lists
maillog
notes
pb
rc
reports
----------

My RE list-files are in the "lists" directory. My maillog is in the 
"maillog" directory, etc ,etc.  This current line of thought for how to 
secure the issue could cause problems for anyone that is using 
subdirectories in the "file:" specifications.  i.e.:

   file:lists/noProcessing.txt

+$.02:  I think we should enforce specific file types, the directory 
structure must be within the $base, and no reverse traversals (i.e. 
/../) allowed.
