b. Does your rule appear in the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file?
c. Reboot the system and retest.
3. From the command line, again add your rule to allow SMTP traffic. After testing your configuration,
ensure that the rule remains in place after a reboot, by modifying the appropriate configuration file.
