Ipchains blocking Sendmail

Hi,

I have a linux machine connected to
the internet and to an internal network.
I am running Sendmail and Ipchains.
I have the following rules for
Ipchains on port 25:


   # SMTP server (25)
   # ----------------
   ipchains -A input  -i
$EXTERNAL_INTERFACE -p tcp  \
            --source-port $UNPRIVPORTS \
            -d $IPADDR 25 -j ACCEPT

   ipchains -A input  -i
$LOCAL_INTERFACE_1 -p tcp  \
            --source-port $UNPRIVPORTS \
            -d $LOCAL_IPADDR 25 -j ACCEPT

   ipchains -A output -i
$EXTERNAL_INTERFACE -p tcp ! -y \
            -s $IPADDR 25 \
            --destination-port
$UNPRIVPORTS -j ACCEPT

   ipchains -A output -i
$EXTERNAL_INTERFACE -p tcp ! -y \
            -s $LOCAL_IPADDR 25 \
            --destination-port
$UNPRIVPORTS -j ACCEPT

The only other ports I also ACCEPT are
53 and 113.

I can send and receive mail inside my
network, but can´t receive or send
E-mail to the internet.
After examining the Messages log there
are many lines with (Connection
refused by server) when sendmail tries
to connect to smtp servers on the
internet.

What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance.
