Is the machine in the other network coming in through the firewall via the same route (ie externally) or is it coming in from another internally facing interface.<br />

It sounds like you might need to add another rule on your firewall to specifically allow this new traffic to pass on the required route through.<br />
<br />
Have you checked the firewall logs?

i need to setup an smtp virtual server for my exchange 2003 machine so a database in another network is able to connect and send mails from our domain<br />
<br />
i have setup the smtp virtual server and checked the relay options, but when i try to connect to the WAN IP port 25 from another network and am getting connection refused, port 25 is definitely open as exchange is working

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
