All things are possible.  But some are not recommended.

May I suggest a different configuration?

Put one NIC in your mail server.  Put it inside the firewall.
Configure it to serve ssh, SMTP, POP3, and LDAP to all comers.
Configure your firewall to forward traffic on port 25 from outside to
the mail server.  That way, the firewall does its job (controlling
access), and the mail server does its job (providing mail services).

Do you have special requirements that wouldn't let you do it this way?
