I have disabled shorewall on Postfix machine using #shorewall clear , but I'm still working on clearing shorewall on the dedicated machine, but I haven't managed to make it happen since all the NAT has been implemented on the shorewall configuration. I'm still trying to figure out a safe way to move from shorewall to iptables. So here is the diagram in case that anything else comes in mind.
