Does it give you any information at all? I could see whre ipchains might block email service, but I don't think active monitor would care.
ipchains could block packets on interface lo as well, which would keep active monitor from working.
My script starts off with "ipchains -A input -i lo -j ACCEPT" so that it does NOT block anything coming in on the loopback interface, such as active monitor polling.
