Since I've not noticed another answer, here is a 2nd class response, meaninging not very authoritative ...
Checking my saved copy of my config (I'm not where I have access to the firewall), I found what seems like a bizare tunnel ... 7 TCP 10.1.0.49 25 10.1.2.49 25 filter seems to be that is a NOP, but I have a similar spec for my backup to DMZ connection and it was required and seems to work. 10.1.0.49 is my email server. I don't recall if TELNET was one of the utilities on the gnatbox, but if it is, you could try a manual connect from the gnatbox console to your email server. If no TELNET, verify PING ... hope this inspires success ...
