Um, I don't use iptables, but doesn't it handle nat as well as filtering?
If he shuts that off doesn't he kill the connection for all his computers
behind the wall?

Regardless, I don't see the purpose of shutting off iptables (remember,
author is not user-of-iptables).  Shouldn't he just reconfigure it to "open"
the neccessary ports?

Wade, if/when you do open a port for sendmail make sure that it is updated
for security reasons.
