      Post your rules and interface configs.  Pay particular attention to the block private and block bogon checkboxes on the interfaces.

      If you click on the red X in the firewall log it will tell you what rule blocked it. If it's hitting default deny that means it wasn't passed by the rules on the interface it came in on.

      On my system rule 1000000103 is default deny IPv4 so we need to look at your rules.

          Dude, can't you just produce a damned screenshot, instead of this unreadable mess?

          P.S. If you do not want packet filtering, move to System - Advanced - Firewall/NAT and tick "Disable Firewall". Not really sure what's a point of a box sitting "in between of couple of routers" on a network passing everything.

            Also I took a look at the interafaces bogon and private lock, and they are unchecked.

            thanks, sorry for the trouble.

                Look at your rules on MINIZONA9.

                If you want to pass any traffic, then make a rule that passes any traffic.

                IPv4, protocol any source any dest any

                And delete everything else.  Why mess around with tcp, S/SA, udp, etc?

                  Ok so here are the screenshots.

                  Derelict

                  As you can see the rule to pass all traffic on MINIZONA9 exists. Actually the problem is that sometimes email clients can connect and send/recieve emails, but next minute they cant.

                    I meant the screenshot of the firewall log in human readable view.

                      If it were me I would get rid of all the rules on MINIZONA9

                      The make one rule:

                      IPv4, protocol any source any dest any

                      Again, if you want to pass everything, then pass everything.

                      I don't like that logging rule at the top either.  I don't know why that log rule is limited to S/SA but I rarely look at the raw pf config. It might be perfectly normal.

                      ETA: I guess it's normal to have flags S/SA on a tcp-only rule.

                        Allow all isn't "allow all" on stateful firewalls, it's allow all new connections. Looks like you have asymmetric routing there somewhere, what's being blocked is traffic that isn't going through the firewall in both directions. If you really just want to allow everything, disable the packet filter as doktornotor suggested.
