mangle table question

[Brad Chapman]

Mr. Van Opstal,

   Other than the number of chains the mangle table holds and the
priority of the mangle table's hooks, the filter table and the mangle
table are the same.

   As for your rules, all TCP packets with a source address of $PUB_IP
and a destination port of 25 will hit the first mark rule, then continue
to the second mark rule. All other TCP packets with a source address of
$PUB_IP will only hit the second rule.
