use -n -v -L

iptables -n -v -L

This will show your active firewall information.


If you want to view only INPUT FORWARD or OUTPUT:

  iptables -nvL INPUT
  iptables -nvL OUTPUT
  iptables -nvL FORWARD

for a table you have set (nat table for example):

iptables -nvL -t nat

I don't know what your current firewall rules are, but as you send an  
email, you should see the counters change.

Sincerely,

William Harrington
