Thanks Marcos. Yes Asterfax has its own smtp daemon that they admit is 
not too secure.  They tell you how to run it with sendmail on the same 
system by eating up another IP address.  I did this already.  But I am 
saying, forget that, why not just use Sendmail.  Afterall the 
asterfax.xml has an External option for inbound mail.

I will run through your recommendations below.  Should be able to follow 
your recipe.  I assume that I can set receivedfaxes to not allow login...
