Firewall woes - ports to be used

[Plant, Dean]

The information from the Spamassassin docs (below) show two rules, is only
the outbound rule required?

Also note that DCC requires that you open your firewall for DCC reply
packets on UDP port 6277.   DCC uses UDP packets when replying, which
are blocked by most firewalls by default. As a result, it requires
that you open your firewall for DCC reply packets on UDP port 6277.
Here's sample firewall rules required:

      allow udp local gt 1023 to remote 6277
      allow udp remote 6277 to local gt 1023

I should hope that is true of all of them!?

(Assuming your firewall allows in reply packets - but none of the services
should be initiated from outside....)
