iptables: strict rules / connection direction?

I wonder if (I think it's possible) and how I can manage connection directions...

I think I've to control/observe the SYN-packages, or not?

If I want, that my server could connect SMTP 1.2.3.4 on Port 25, which rules I have to set?
On the other side Client want to connect to server port 80...

Is there a way to controll the direction of connection?

Perhaps anybody could help me...

Bye

I think shorewall provides a good interface for managing your rules.
Its very easy-comprehensive and gets iptables to do what you want.
