What you have to do to make this work is, edit the /etc/init.d/iptables file.
When done, type:
iptables-save > /etc/sysconfig/iptables
Which will populate the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file, then type service iptables restart, and you're in business :-)

Thanks, I did that in my new file already.
Another question is whether there is nice rule to protect the servers from DoS. Since this is also our mail server, is there any way to reject spam through firewall.
