If you *know* that only asterisk is listening on the relevant ports it's 
less of a risk, but it's such a wide range and (in theory at least) 
leaves plenty of scope for a trojan to listen on one of those ports.

Perhaps SElinux can help here, does it allpw you to say that only a 
cerain process has access to the those ports?

Arrghh, I hate the way to:, from: and reply-to: addresses get mangled by 
lists!
