Hi,

Are you sure the traffic from 66.8.x.y 25 would be blocked without
your default rule ? Regarding the counter on rule 100, 
AFAIR ipfw did(does) never increment on the check-state rule but 
on the 'parent' rule). From your example, everything looks just fine 
and the temporary rules seem to be ok. Try adding 
1001 count tcp from 66.8.x.y 25 to any
I am sure you will never see traffic at this point.

regards
Thomas

P.S.: I just tried:
00001 check-state
00002 allow tcp from any to 212.16.37.103 25 keep-state setup
00003 deny ip from any to any via ed0
and it worked just fine.
The only difference is that I am running 4.6.2
