Greetings all

Can anyone tell me the difference between the policy 'deny' and 
that 'reject' ?

I'm trying to stop a server sending me smtp when I connect to it (I prefer
using POP) but I don't want to _not_ run an smtp server. It seems that
if I use the rule
    ipfwadm -I -a reject -S any/0 smtp 
then icmp 'port unreachable' is generated but that doesn't seem to disuade
the server from continuing to try!! If I use
    ipfwadm -I -a deny -S any/0 smtp 
then it doesn't appear to stop anything!!

All I want to do it run the ampr.org DNS without emptying the company mail
account into the linux box here!!!!
