Why is my F5 dropping telnet on port 25 for one network?

I have configured SMTP on my LTM (11.4.1) and have configured a SNAT of 10.229.104.37 so all connections from the LTM are sent with this address and I have no iRule configured.   If telnet 10.229....

I have resolved the issue and it seems that the previous F5 engineer put a packet filter on the LTM for port 25 and some networks.

 

However, the network in question was not in the allowed list. There was also a deny list for port 25. Also logging was disabled on both filters.

 

I've added the network to the allow packet filter and it now connect.
