I installed 'ipchains' on my Redhat 7.0 mail server today. Not being a
firewall guru, I had the www.linux-firewall-tools.com/linux/firewall/ site
build me a script. I had pretty good luck with it on a web server but I've
run into a problem with Qmail. As soon as I activate the firewall, mail
gets backed up.
/var/log/messages says:

Any idea what's causing this?
The problematic firewall script is rather large (25k) so I've posted it on
my web server at http://www.magpie.com/work/rc.firewall.html
