hello,

we used to have a mail server in a private network (with a private ip)...
we finally used rinetd (http://www.boutell.com/rinetd/) on the firewall to
redirect the traffic to the mail server...

we also tried with ipchains, without any success ... :(

the other solution would be to use a 2.4 kernel with iptables...
