[FW-1] can't send SMTP mail



Hi.. I found that I can't send the SMTP mail from the firewall itself when
the firewall policy is on.  But when I fw unload localhost, I have no
problem sending it.  I can't understand this.  I thought firewall by default
it will allow any traffic from the firewall itself regardless any policy
installed on it right.

FYI.. I installed postfix SMTP client on the firewall and below is the error
msg.
Feb 13 13:45:45 fw1 postfix/smtp[13177]: [ID 197553 mail.info] connect to
mx2
.hotmail.com[65.54.254.145]: Connection timed out (port 25)

Could it be related to the $FWDIR/conf/smtp.conf file, I found the default
timeout is 90s in my NG while the default timeout in my CP2000 is 900s which
I have no problem sending SMTP mail.

bash-2.03# more smtp.conf
