No need for this rule .This drops all packets both inbound for your 
server and outbound through your server to the Internet

The rule is correct  but it wont match any packets because packets 
matching this mac address are also matching the earlier "-i $INTIF -o 
$EXTIF -j ACCEPT" rule. Just be careful of the flow. Change "-A" to "-I"
