An SUN case engineer told me, that on should always add 'flags S' when using
'keep state' too get not into trouble. Why: unknown ...
But I guess, this is not the real problem.

We have encountered ipf problems on our mail servers, too - since
installation of 138888-07 (138888-08 doesn't solve the problem):

After 2..3 days ipfilter seems to trash its tables or bumps some packets
into a black hole and thus only occasional mail comes through. Strange
thing is, that mail connections from the local net come through without
any problem - so its not so easy to get notified, that's something
wrong. The problem doesn't occure on machines with the same patch level
and snv110 - I guess because they get much much less external connection
requests. 

Had the same problem (at least wrt. symptoms) when feature upgrading to
S10u4 (120011-14) - also on the mail servers, only. That time, 
IDR136697-08 did mitigate the problem but did not resolve it.
IDR137077-05 finally fixed it.

Don't know, whether a new IDR exists - so re-enabled ipfilter restart
per cron job ...
