This does ring a bell to me. I think it is caused by a Postfix
"feature". The mail server is a Postfix MTA. If I understand you
correctly Postfix opens a connection, "conntracked" correctly as can be
seen by the log in the FORWARD chain. Then a bit later, Postfix sends a
packet with RST set. This is an error, classified invalid and therefore
it ends up in the INPUT chain.
Thanks for explaining this.
Dion.
