Does anyone know what's wrong here?

I'm masquerading with a fairly standard ipchains ruleset

Chain forward (policy DENY):
target  prot opt     source            destination  ports
MASQ    all  ------  192.168.0.0/24    anywhere     n/a

All the machines on the ethernet pull mail off the linux diald server
with pop3. If I have a rule that allows all tcp and brings the link up
for 3 minutes, then when someone pops mail of the from the local
ethernet the link comes up. If I set up a rule for diald to ignore
pop3 connections (ie don't bring up the link), then pop3 connections
fail.  If you telnet to the server on port 110 it times out after
showing the POP3 greeting banner.

I suspect this has something to do with a combination of the proxy
interface for diald and the masquerading the I'm doing for the local
192.168.0 network.

I don't see how setting up an ignore rule for DIALD should cause the
inet server and pop3d connection from the etehrnet to be broken.

Can anyone help me, this is driving me nuts.
