Hi Michael,

I suspect it's because you haven't specified the destination address.

Maybe try something like the following 
   iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d $SECOND_IP_EXT -p tcp -m tcp --dport
25 -j DNAT --to-destination $SECOND_IP_INT:10025

hmmm.... I figured it out. It was because I was not allowing the INPUT 
chain to pass the redirected packet on port 10025. 

Needed a rule like;
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 --dport 10025 -j allowed

Thanks for your help.

Michael
