You are forwarding it twice
Is 10.0.0.1 the internal interface of the firewall (that contains -d
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) or is it a seperate machine
If it is on the same machine, try this (assuming you have a FORWARD rule
too):
iptables -A FORWARD -i $EXTIF -p tcp --dport 25 -m state \
--state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp -d $EXTIP --dport 25 \
-j DNAT --to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
($EXTIF is the external insterface {eth0, eth1, etc.}, $EXTIP is the
external IP address)
