iptables error

Hello,
I need to setup iptables so that my clients can access their e-mail using e-mail programs such as Outlook, Outlook Express and so on. However, I went to setup the iptables to do so and I recieve this error when trying any command other than "iptables --help":
/lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: init_module: Device or resource busy Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod ip_tables failed iptables v1.2.5: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
What does this mean? I think my kernel is up to date and so is iptables. I am running Red Hat 7.3
Thanks for any help. *If you would, could someone show me how I would setup the iptables once they work so that the clients can check their e-mail?
