Maybe this question sounds trivial, but do you have identd running (or what
exactly is it called in *BSD?)? I don't know if smtp somehow depends on ident,
some things do. Tell me if it does(n't). Maybe just rejecting connections to
port 113 will suffice? I am not really sure about your previous configuration.
Bye,
Leonard.
