Yes this does help.

Try setting up a DNAT rule that will take any port 25 (SMTP) connections received on eth1 from your LAN and DNAT them to an SMTP server on the net that will relay for your network.  You would do this with something along the following lines:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d $IP_Address_of_Firewall -p tcp --dport 25 -j DNAT --to-destination $IP_Address_of_SMTP_server

This should take any port 25 traffic (SMTP) that is inbound to your server and redirect it to an SMTP server on the net.
