The only really clean & secure way (but as I think most
complicated patch) would be allow access only to the files & locations which
are entered somewhere in the config file.

If this was possible, you could put your files even outside
of the assp directorys (e.g. a common logfile directory) and
still have a secure system.

Every other solution is only a workaround which could lead
to more problems (so think about some bad guy could edit the Maillog.txt
to campflage the configurations changes without a trace or
something which will added in future)
