Don't forget these items:

1. If you block Port 25 from your internal network <> Internet, your 
   internal machines must have their mail programs reset to point to 
   your Linux box as their outgoing email server.

2. Your MTA must be reconfigured to allow relaying from the internal 
   addresses, or it'll reject their mail. Add them to /etc/mail/relay-domains.

HTH. YMMV.
