      ok.. so here is my crazy issue that I can not seem to get worked out.

      Firewall: NAT: Port Forward rule for port 25 SMTP from WAN interface –> Internernal IP of mail server port 25

      Firewall: Rule setup to
      Proto  Source  Port  Destination  Port      Gateway
      TCP/UDP    *            *  10.0.0.10      25 (SMTP)  *

      Now all INBOUND mail is working just fine. It is when I try to send an email that things stop working.

      I see this in the firewall logs as being blocked by "Default deny rule" ..

      Time            If              Source      Destination          Proto
      Jun 15 18:03:32  WAN  xx.xx.xx.xx:25  xx.xx.xx.xx:43402  TCP:R

      What could I be missing...

      Thanks

        bump…. If I can not find out why this is going on soon I will have to move to something else rather than pfSense..

        someone has to have seen this before...

            Blocking TCP:R (Resets) and TCP:F (Fin) can be normal, and not indicative of the actual problem.
