I have a port forwarding rule setup to only accept connections on port 25 from an IP address and a network block that is from a hosted anti-spam server provided by our ISP.  However, it doesn't appear to be limiting to those IP addresses listed.  Everything is configured correctly, all checkboxes are checked, etc.  If I telnet to the firewall address on port 25 from an IP not listed as allowed I receive:
 
220 myfirewallhostname.domainname.com ESMTP Postfix
 
Why isn't the connection just dropped?  Why am I connecting to a Postfix service on the firewall?  I am not running SMTP proxy.
 
Thanks for the help!
 
-Mike

Yeah but it appears to append the address of the mail server that it is checking to the front of the address of the blackhole that it is checking it with.
But I am not well versed in these things so this could be normal?

Looks like a notice from Postfix telling you it can not look up the Blackhole
zones.
