On the off chance that nobody answered you privately....

One address/alias on your GNAT Box is always going to either
hit the SMTP proxy or bypass it -- there's no way to make
port 25 behave differently depending on the source address.
(That is why everything could use the tunnel - your default
filter for the SMTP proxy is letting everyone hit port 25)

What you can do, however, is add an External Alias (another
IP Address) to your GNAT Box, and tunnel from there to your
internal mailserver.   Create a filter that allows only the
external SMTP servers to access the tunnel, and check the
default SMTP filter to make sure that it does not cover the
alias address.
