You're invited to read the documentation.  The Book of PF: A No-Nonsense 
Guide to the OpenBSD Firewall, 2nd ed., is also rather informative, 
although one has to keep in mind that the version of PF in FreeBSD lags 
that in OpenBSD.

The universe might grind to a halt.  This would upset a great many 
people.  This outcome, however, is exceedingly unlikely.

Again, with no clue as to what's in pf.conf, I could offer only the 
vaguest guesses based in part on my judged competence of the author of 
your pf.conf.  Since your pf.conf appears to have possibly destroyed 
your e-mail infrastructure, the preliminary assessment is a bit shaky.
