In a similar situation (I have a home network which can be connected to
several providers), I used iptables to reroute requests to the correct
servers by assigning private IPs for the mail and proxy servers.
For example, use 192.168.0.1 for mail and 192.168.0.2 for proxy and then
do:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 192.168.0.1 -j DNAT \
--to-destination your.mail.server
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 192.168.0.2 -j DNAT \
--to-destination your.proxy.server
A plus is this can work on a network router for the entire net.
