Firewall/NAT

I have one mail source that m0n0wall keeps blocking by the implicit deny.  I have setup at least 20 different rules to try and get it to go through to no avail.  The block message in log is as follows:

207.44.97.37,110 (mail src) -> 172.16.1.68,1228 (inside address) PR tcp len 20 40 -A IN

I have rules in the firewall on both the lan and wan which are these

Proto       Source             Port    Destination    Port   
TCP        204.44.97.37    *         172.16.1.68   *
*            204.44.97.37   *           *                   *
TCP         *                     POP3    *                   *
and the grand daddy
*            *                      *           *                   *


Again i have configured these same rules on both the LAN and WAN interfaces, but i still get blocked traffice, how can a *  *  *  *  *  rule still have blocked traffic! 

Background on my setup is a copy of m0n0wall installed via VMWare Server (through the published virtual hard drive) on a old machine running windows XP.  That XP machine has the firewall turned off.  The virtual machine is running simple NAT as the setup for the virtual machine suggested (likewise i couldn't figure out a non-NAT solution)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

See my topic about Virtual PC, an alternative to VMware that really works!

Thanks for the reply finally

I finally broke down and just set it up locally on the hard drive using the boot cd and floppy disk setup.  The double NAT was f'ing my day up, something weird with the Windows Firewall that was on the Host PC i think...  whatever it was the VM method was not worth it's frustration At least with VMWare... however if i had 2 static public IPs it may have been different.
