It shouldn't matter. The tcpdump shows that the packets aren't even 
getting to his system. The default iptables doesn't get in the way of 
replies anyway. Even if it did, the tcpdump would have shown the server 
packet arriving and then iptables sending an ICMP prohibited reply.

This, on the other hand, may be relevant.
