I don't understand what you mean by that but I don't think it matters. :)

Am I missing something?  Why use NAT at all if you have a /29?  It
seems far more complex than it needs to be and completely pointless.

Just pick one of the IPs, publish that as your MX, and then forward
everything from that IP to the server in ORANGE that handles mail.
Or just could just forward ports 25 and 587.

I see no need for any IPCop add-on in the scenario you describe.
