Do you have all this setup or is this just checking the theory before you
deploy? I'm just curious, if you have it setup you should be able to debug it
and get it going pretty fast. I don't have a working setup like this to test it
but..... Lets assume the Blue network doesn't have access to the Orange network
the first work around I try would be an Outbound Firewall rules.
Use Blue as Source Network, add the IP of the mail server for destination and
port for SMTP leave the reset blank. You should get a rule that looks like ....
17 TCP BLUE 192.168.251.253 : 25(SMTP) ALLOW
Blue to Orange
[Blue to Orange is my remark.]
Give it a try and see if it works.

[I also think that the Proxy itself would work if you allow Blue to get to the
SMTP proxy the SMTP proxy should be able to get to Orange. But I don't have
this set up so I'm 100% sure. I did look again at Pinholes and you are right
there is no setting to allow Blue to Orange. It would be easy to hack into it
but perhaps there is a good reason why it is missing.]
