No filter rule has been speciied.


Make sure you also have the ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j

And have you made sure that the smtp box accepts connections from

YES, It accpets connections from any where. Let's say, If I telnet to port
25 as bellow,

telnet 2.3.4.5 25

it accepts, It works.

Now what I need is that  I want to telnet to first firewall, then, it will
forward to second firewall, second firewall will forward to actual mail
server.


 Is your MTA listening on the external interface?

eth0 is the internet ip of firewall. eth1 is connected to mail server.
