I am seeing the above occur maybe once a day or once every other day, but the 
source IP address is in an alias that is a list of aliases (and that list 
contains my mail server aliases). Whenever I see this, I manually try to telnet 
to the same IP on port 25 and the traffic is passed, yet the mail server shows 
a failed connection attempt in the logs which coincides with the firewall log 
as above. I have a rule that explicitly allows port tcp/25 as a destination 
from my inbound mail servers alias group, and then there is a rule right 
beneath that rule that explicitly blocks outbound SMTP from all IP addresses on 
the subnet, and I have logging turned on for that rule. So, the rule beneath 
the one that should be triggered is being triggered instead.



Is there a Bug/Race condition in rule evaluation??
