Well, well. I feel pretty silly. I changed that rule to accept all on the port 25, and so far it looks like the 3 test emails I just made came through. The old one thats delayed 18 hours has not still arrived yet, but perhaps thats in a low priority que of sorts since its older.
I thought for sure I had the smtp port completely closed on the other server with this same coinfig and ruleset and it was ok. I will let it run a while longer but for now it looks like thats all it was. Thanks Tom.
