geesh i can't really make spamd work with pf.

from another machine with ipaddress 192.168.1.2
im telnetting my gateway box 192.168.1.1

here's the scenario:

i added 192.168.1.2 to my <spamd> table in 192.168.1.1 box
when i start to telnet my gateway, telnet just say Trying....

here's my spamd rule part in my pf.conf

# spamd-setup puts addresses to be redirected into table <spamd>.
table <spamd> persist
no rdr on { lo0 } from any to any
rdr inet proto tcp from <spamd> to any port smtp -> 127.0.0.1 port 8025
pass in on lo0 inet proto tcp from <spamd> to 127.0.0.1 port 8025

pls help
