Port range forwarding

Our firewall is just broken-down. I would like to use a broadband router to
replace it temporarily. Can someone advise me how to configure the incoming
emails go to the email server. I believe it is the setting in Port range
forwarding page of router setting. Any guidance is appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott

You'll want to configure port 25 traffic to forward to the IP address of
your internal mail server, how you do this will depend on the make/model of
your router, but it sounds like the page you're looking at is the correct
one. You'll also need to configure a public IP address as your MX record so
that external hosts can send you email.
