port specs cannot be comma-delimited lists like that, IIRC.

For ports you can specify:
        a port [80]
        a continuous range of ports [1:1023]
        or a negation of either of the above.

But you cannot do things like [80,88]. That syntax only works for IP addresses.

See also, the docs on port numbers in rules:
