        Depending on how your mail server works, you might need to create a NAT Port Forward rule which will automatically create a firewall rule as well.

        Firewall, NAT, Port Forward tab, Add new Rule for each WAN interface and variation not covered in a (port) range.

        Interface, WAN1 or WAN2
        Protocol, TCP,
        Destination WAN ADDRESS
        Destination Port Range SMTP, IMAP etc.
        Redirect Target IP IP Address of your mail server.
        Redirect Target Port 25, 993 etc.

        Once you have done that, look in the FW rules and you should see a newly created rule in there for you as well.

        HTH.
