>Description:

I've just enable IPFW2 on my -stable box.

Under IPFW I had a rule that forwarded outgoing mail to a local
port which had an encryption package listening on it. This
functionality worked fine.

Under IPFW2 the rule does not forward the packet to the local port.

The rule is

	add 3500 fwd 127.0.0.1,26 tcp from any to mail-server 25 out

I can talk to 127.0.0.1:26 just fine. Telneting to mail-server:25
gives

	telnet: connect to address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: Connection refused
	telnet: Unable to connect to remote host


	
>How-To-Repeat:

As above.
	
>Fix:
