Quoting from man iptables: " This target is only valid in the INPUT,
FORWARD and OUTPUT chains"
Since the validation is done by the kernel module, you don't see the error
message directly, but rather via syslog; e.g. in my case, in
/var/log/messages you see " kernel: ip_tables: REJECT target: only valid in
filter table, not mangle"
