Strange Mail Server behavior

Folks

I have an issue with a mail server (10.3.7) running on a Xserve G4 (Dual Ethernet). I have been moving from an old Exchange 5.5 server to a new Mac OS X server and it has been going good. It has been going so good in fact I have finished moving all users (40) to the Mac OS X box and they can hit the box through the internal eno (192.168.0.126) and the external eno1 (66.133.153.243) ports without a hitch. The problem showed up when I tried to redirect the external traffic through our other external port (66.133.153.243, a Netgear firewall) to the internal (192.168.0.126) port of the new mail server. Up to this point we had just port forwarded the 25 port from out Netgear Router/Firewall to our Exchange server (192.168.0.141). I have tried to monkey with the mail server's firewall, but it only seems to affect the external card (66.133.152.243) not the internal (192.168.0.126). Again if the sender has a internal address (192.168*) the internal card will except it, but if the sender has an external ip address, the port forwarding fails.


Any help would be appreciated, even if ya charge me for it.
