can still hit port 25 with no rules in place

@johno1233 The point of that Test Port tool in Diagnostics, as I understand it, is NOT to verify if your firewall rules are working. It's more to test and see if ports are correctly opened on destination servers. Because as @netblues pointed out, the rules (except floating) would not be applied to packets originating from the firewall itself.
So, in the end, it sounds like once you tested properly, everything was actually working as you expected. This was a misunderstanding on your part of how the rules work and how to properly test. I don't see why you're calling this a "poor show". Frankly, this whole thread is in bad taste- people here are trying to help you (for free) with a firewall you downloaded (also for free) and you don't seem the slightest bit appreciative.

@johno1233 said in can still hit port 25 with no rules in place:
im going to say that doesnt function properly in addition to the rules having to be any is a poor show regardless of a persons experience
Sure. And an F1 McLaren doesn't go well on mud.

@luckman212 @luckman212 both you answers are not contributing at all to the issue in the post, putting me down seems to be your main concern, yes my test worked with limitations , and the the web config gives you various options to test from all connected interfaces which does not function as expected. no misunderstanding on my part, maybe you should try it yourself before you knock me
