This is a bit more complex than just saying do this, then that... I
sense you are 'in over your head' (it happens, to everyone, at one
point or another) and are facing a problem that is beyond your
experience (which you admit, good!)

How is the server that is connected 'full time' to the internet
connected?

Do you have a firewall (other than Internet Connection) in your
router?

Are you allowed to configure the system?

Server A, the IIS/Internet COnnection machine. Server B, the mail
server... Is it receiving email from the Internet, or only the
internal network? If it is receiving email from the Internet, has your
firewall been configured to pass the correct ports, and forward them
to the correct server? Ditto for Server A's Internet Connection.

Internal email only? If so, and there is no Internet connection for
the email, I'd suspect a number of things such as SMTP configuration,
DNS issues, etc.

There are way too many answers for your 'question' than are practical
to answer. Tell us how the network is layed out. Where the emails come
from, and are going to. What your site's DNS records are.

I suspect firewall issues, but that is a WAG at best.
