Upgraded to 25.7.6 and all inbound connections stopped. Checked live log, and lo and behold, all SMTP connections are being blocked.
Needless to say that I have a first-match allow rule on the WAN interface, for the ports 25, 465, and 587. What the?

Figures, the reason was that during the upgrade, the restored config put all of the NAT rules on the phantom opt1 interface, instead of the WAN. I wonder if it's the correct/necessary behavior.
