I may be wrong on this one. It's based on what I've experienced so far.
If I'm wrong, I'm sure a higher power will correct me :)

If you're setting the filter via radius (Filter-Id = "email"), depending
on your ComOS version, it will try to set outgoing filter email.out and
incoming filter email.in. I assume you set the following as email.in?
Also depending on your ComOS version, if you don't have a filter called
email.out, it will assume a null filter (filter with no rules) --> thus
everything going out on that port will block. So you might wanna try:
add filter email.out; set filter email.out permit 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
