      HI there I saw this one in the logs and don't understand why it is blocked, this is just a node that wants to (securely) retrieve mail from a pop mail server on port 995?

        Out-of-state traffic, asymmetric routing maybe.

          That is on a interface called wlan, so going to go out on a limb and guess that is a wireless client ;)

          Wireless clients, Cell phones and the like are notorious for using long dead sessions. Or having moved from one connection to another and not reopening a connection. Or it could of been client sent the Fin and never got the fin,ack back and what your seeing are the retrans of those that are blocked becuase the firewall already closed the state..

          Unless you are being bombed by these, and wireless I wouldn't worry to much about them - but you might want to look into deeper if you are having any sort of issues on your wifi connection, etc.
