incoming on tcp port 139 blocked or no?

got this in my logcheck today:

Jun 26 13:02:26 (none) portsentry[28030]: attackalert: Connect from host: 218.89.28.60/218.89.28.60 to TCP port: 139

Jun 26 13:02:26 (none) portsentry[28030]: attackalert: Host: 218.89.28.60 is already blocked. Ignoring

Jun 26 13:02:26 (none) portsentry[28030]: attackalert: Connect from host: 218.89.28.60/218.89.28.60 to TCP port: 139

Jun 26 13:02:26 (none) portsentry[28030]: attackalert: Host: 218.89.28.60 is already blocked. Ignoring

I know that the offending ip was already blocked, but did I misread the faq? I thought that tcp:139 was blocked by linode:

http://www.linode.com/products/faq.cfm :

The following ports are filtered for security reasons. If you need to run a specific service, run it on a different port.

[snip]

138/tcp filtered netbios-dgm

139/tcp filtered netbios-ssn

[snip]

or .. is it outgoing packets that are blocked but not input ?

caker … do I misunderstand the port blocking linode does?

Host9 through host26 located at the Fremont datacenter do NOT have any ports blocked by the data center. The blocked ports only apply to the Dallas Datacenter.
