nat for a mail server

I am looking for a bit of help.

I need to enable NAT thought to a mail server for a couple of weeks while we carry out upgrades. Up untill now I have only used this Astaro as an http proxy.

As I don't have the option to enable the mail proxy features I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.

I have added an additional IP address to the WAN to be used for the nat.

I assume I would create an SNAT from the mail server OUTBOUND to the internet.?

Would I also create a DNAT inbound to the mail server?

In addition to smtp I need 80 and 443 open for webmail and 1 additional port for another service.

I have already configured the additional services and the host for the mail server.

Do I need to do packet filters in addition to the nat's?

An example would be of great use if anyone has one.

You have actually nailed it. Yes create the snat it should look something like src:mailserver->dst:internet whatever ports you need to redirect source=externalmail. Yes you would need to create a dnat rule. It would look something like src:internet->dst:externalmail ports you need to redirect destination=mailserver. Just click the make packet filter rule.

@derekrussell:
What kind of server do you have? Is it just a virtuell server?
Or is it a real server what you have to put in a Rack like this one

I don't think NAT rules will work on Rack's like this
