try this ,
#iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o ppp0 --dport 25 -d !<ip addr of mail server> -j
DROP

don't forget to replace -i eth0 with your LAN inteface and -o ppp0 with your external interface

Hi,

I want to allow my internal network to only connect to some specific email servers.
Apart from these mail server I want to block port 25 and 110 from my internal network to anywhwere. I am doing the following :

iptables -I INPUT -I eth0 --dport 25 -d !<ip addr of mail server> -j REJECT

This does not seem to block the port 25 traffic. Where am I going wrong?

Kindly help.

Regards,
Vijay Kumar
