You'd want to determine whether it's an iptables fault, or whether the
firewall configurator produces some rules which are a bad idea. There's
probably a little of both, but I'd suspect that the rules are probably
not as well thought out as they should be. The current trends in
firewall rule generation (drop/ignore rather than reject) does go
against the way networking works, and is known to cause problems in some
arenas.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
