I tried "iptables -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp --dport postgres" and "iptables -I RH-Firewall-1-INPUT 7 -p tcp --dport postgres" and neither worked. It looks like the problem is it didn't have "ACCEPT" in front of the rule:

ACCEPT udp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:631
tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:5432
ACCEPT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
