Maybe this question sounds trivial, but do you have identd running (or what exactly is it called in *BSD?)? I don't know if smtp somehow depends on ident, some things do. Tell me if it does(n't). Maybe just rejecting connections to port 113 will suffice? I am not really sure about your previous configuration. Bye, Leonard.
