For network connection sharing,

1. eth0 should be your local network connection

2. On connected computers, dhcp protocol should be set "Get an address 
automatically" Under Network Neighborhood>>TCP/IP>Properties>IP Address

3. On connected computers the gateway _must_ be set to 192.168.0.1

4.  eth1 should be connnected to the internet by whatever means you use 
as standard unless you use a modem.  Default gateway device should be 
eth1 or ppp0 as appropriate.

Now nexbie mail might be rejected if the subscriber's email  is not 
correct, but usually with a confirmation message allowing 
non-subscribers to post anyway.  Your rejection is quite odd.  While we 
have had other users request information on rejecting Outlook from their 
servers entirely because the viruses like SirCam are eating up too much 
space and bandwidth, I don't think we have implemented our own advice on 
our servers.
