Soupermail can read any file from your website and use it as a template. Usually, you control which files are read through your config files. However, if someone else can write a config file to your server, they could use it to read sesnitive files from your server. In normal situations, nobody else can write files to your website, but sometimes, with things like bulletin boards and forums, other people can create files on your server. Paranoid mode is used as a saftey feature in Soupermail, preventing it from reading files from directories unless you have allowed Soupermail to read from the directory. To do this, you need to create a file called soupermail.allow and place it in the directories that you want Soupermail to read from.
