You could run a qmail/smtp server on the firewall that forwards
incoming mail to the internal mail server, and relays internal/outgoing
mail to the internet.
Or you could use a public IP for your MX record and have the
firewall map it to the internal mail server IP.
Basicly, you have to have a public IP for your MX record.
