Opening port 25 in IPTABLES

[rik derris]

I am currently runing iptables & masaqurading to share my Internet connection accross my internal network. I have no trouble remotly conecting to ports 80,21,22, etc ..... However when setting up SENDMAIL i have found that port 25 is closed (treid to telnet there) I added the 2 lines (eth1 = external)
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i eth1 --dport 25 -j ACCEPT #Open smtp
iptables -A INPUT -p udp -i eth1 --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
This is the chain listed
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:smtp
ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:smtp

Chain FORWARD (policy DROP)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere
LOG all -- anywhere anywhere LOG level warning

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Now with this i would of expected to get through but i still can't telnet to port 25 ??? Can anyone tell me wherei am going wrong ?

You can just flush your input table. The default policy is set to ACCEPT.
