LinuxQuestions.org - IPTables strange behavior

Hello all

I have a problem with IP tables.
i have a web content filter server using iptables, squid and dansguardian. After months working on it i just kind of finish it. I just have a little problem

When i restart it i cant access pop3/smtp from outlook on my workstations

but if i copy and paste this the firewall script on a console it fixes the problem.

if i do iptables -L -n before and after pasting the firewall script it gives me the exact same rules.

also i have the firewall script file saved in /etc/init.d and made the shortcut in /etc/rc2.d also did the chmod 750 tp the file.

what can be the problem???
