Doesn't the iptables rule block connections from a certain IP? Specifying
the address for exim or postfix to listen on is totally different.
I suspect what the original poster was asking for was something like:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s IP.YOU.WANT.TO.ACCEPT --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j REJECT
So accept connections from a single ip, reject the rest. I don't use ip
tables directly any more so I'm not sure if I got it right. I'd recommend
shorewall even for simple firewall setups at this point, as I find it a
nice abstraction over writing iptables rules directly, easier to set policy
with, etc.
Take care,
Dale
