1)General tip when using firewalls, especially if you are having
problems..
ALWAYS log the denied packets....so in ruleset 400 you should put a log
statement.

2) When using firewall always remember that packets are usually two way
packets..which means somebody connectes to your port and your port sends a
reply.  So rule 108 should also include a 'keep state' option or it should
be immediately followed byt a

ipfw add 108 allow tcp from xx.250.227.0/22 20,21,25,80,110 to any via bge

3) Your problem is located on a missing rule. You have rules for the 224
subnet but not for the 227 for outgoing... So you should also include a
line

ipfw add 113 allow all from xx.250.227.0/22 via bge keep-state

4) Also whatever is not specifically writen with 2 rules (one incoming and
other outgoing) it should have a keep-state option. For example rule 120
it has only the incoming connection to 53. You dont allow the outgoing. So
prefereably you should
	i) make two rules for it
	ii) use a keep-state directive
