There is absolutely nothing wrong with iptables here - only your understanding
of what is occurring.  Note in each logged packet the flags "ACK SYN" are
present, meaning this is a _RESPONSE_ to your request.  As such, the in/out &
src/dst are 100% accurate.  

As further evidence, look at the source port in the SMTP log entry: "SPT=25
DPT=49709" which shows the server is responding from its port 25 to your
ephemeral port.  

You probably are missing a "-m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED" at the top of
your ruleset.  Regardless, such a user error is not a bug, and this bug will be
closed.  If you have further questions, ask for assistance on the iptables
_USER_ mailing list.
