Hello,

   If I understood the problem correctly you must use the following

   iptables -A FORWARD -s x.x.x.a -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
   iptables -A FORWARD -s x.x.x.b -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT

   iptables -A FORWARD -s x.x.x.0/24 -p tcp --dport 25 -j  REJECT

   Or if you have more than two host you want to gran SMTP access put 
the following into a script:
    ...
    #Here you could add as much as you need IP addresses or hostnames 
separated by space
    allowed_smpt="x.x.x.a   x.x.x.b   x.x.x.c   x.x.x.d"
        for allowed in $allowed_smpt
    do
       iptables -A FORWARD -s $allowed -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
    done

    iptables -A FORWARD -s x.x.x.0/24 -p tcp --dport 25 -j REJECT
    ...

Hope this will help
Regards :)
