Not really. Regarding Dovecot, I know that it's default logfile is
rather sparse, so there's not much to parse there :)

That's all HTTP-Server config stuff. I don't want to throw around Apache
config snippets because I'm not really an Apache expert. I understand
the problem ("AddHandler cgi-script .pl" and "Options +ExecCGI") but I
prefer not to give Apache support later on :)

Try something like

<Files *conf>
     Order Allow, Deny
     Deny from all
</Files>


in .htaccess. Depending on if your Apache can handle .htaccess this will
work or not. Now you know why I do not like to hand out Apache snippets :)
