XG reporting problems yet again ... Firewall accepting forbidden traffic.

Hello Everyone.  I posted few month ago that a "clean up rule" so common on competitive firewalls cannot be on Sophos XG, without causing reporting issues. 

Here: https://community.sophos.com/products/xg-firewall/f/firewall-and-policies/98440/clean-up-rule-from-any-to-any-drop-that-s-allowed-on-the-internet-anyway-wtf 

We are told the firewall behaves properly no matter what, but users have no easy or practical means of knowing.  Well here's another one.  The following is a rule we have in our firewall. Rule no 6 that allows SMTP and SMTPS traffic into our Anti-Spam.

"SMTP,  WAN towards our Anti-Spam" server, from WAN to LAN, allow "SMTP (port 25) and SMTP(s) (Port 587)".  Simple, right ?  "ext-ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" is the Internet (i.e. valid and NATed) address. int_ip is the internal address for the same Anti-Spam server.
