Question : No Greeting From Remote Host

Below is a list of errors that a client has been recieving. The emails at one point were coming through. At one point it seems a client machine on the network had a virus and starting sending out emials through port 25. I created an exception under our firewall to only allow email from our exchange server. It seems maybe after shutting down the port that this started happening. Maybe not? We also run Symantec spam protection on the exchange side and I also have inteligent message filtering turned out at a scl level of 9.  Any suggestions on how to track this down and get the emails that were coming through to again be recievable?
