Well, as usual, there is more than one way to skin the cat.
One possiblity is to run Postfix (or sendmail) on the 'other machine'
(thus making it your mail server machine), then simply forward requests
for smtp from outside your internal network to that machine's smtp port
(25).
So, what you need to do is to set up ipchains to forward that port.
(See the many ipchains howtos for details) (assuming you are using
ipchains!)
Or, you could let the mail stop on your firewall, and have your
'other machine' transfer the mail over to itself periodically,
using a cron job or so forth....
Or, just let everyone use the firewall to get email from using
pop or whatever.
