The first line is probably causing your problems. I think the line needs
to read:
permit tcp estab

The error means the Portmaster doesn't like how you've written line 1.
> 2) Does it mean the filter is in place on the portmaster by a user already?
No.

It would be better written as follows:
permit tcp estab
permit tcp src eq 20
deny tcp dst eq 25 log
deny tcp dst eq 110 log
permit udp dst eq 53
permit tcp dst eq 53
permit icmp
> 4) Why does choicenet complain sometimes about line 1 of the filter?
See question one.
