>>> I was hoping to use the application firewall because this machine gets used both as a server as well as a client machine for more general use. I haven't been able to find any specific documentation for it, but I have found that the firewall works fine with postfix and several file services I use (enabling/disabling works as expected, process names get logged as expected, etc). Thanks!

Same difference. You're running a full blown MTA and an IMAP server on
a "client" machine. Why? Is this a production level setup? Or do you
have these server daemons installed merely for testing purposes before
putting a dedicated server box into production?
Running a production setup of an MTA and IMAP server on one's
workstation, with an MX record etc pointed at the box, is very, very...
odd, rare.
