What does the rule you made look like? You should have the destination

BLOCK TCP       ! MailServers  25 (SMTP) * * *

This is exactly the opposite as what was suggested by sai

The SMTP connections are made with a destination port 25(SMTP) and not with a source port 25.

The rule should be something like:

   BLOCK TCP    ! MailServers  * * 25 (SMTP) *

But I prefer explicitly allowing the legal traffic and blocking by default (the logging options are more granular:

   PASS  TCP MailServers * * 25(SMTP) *
   BLOCK TCP * * * 25(SMTP) *

(the second rule is not necessary if you don't allow every outgoing TCP by default)
