Accept is default...

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
etc...

The iptables rules are really only there as blunt encouragement to 
connect to the encrypted version of my services rather than the 
plaintext ones (which I mainted for a while because of lack of ssl 
support in the webmail software I was using at the time). The hole for 
ssh is because I occasionally accidently connect to a port that I've got 
portsentry monitoring and I need to keep from locking myself out.
