How to masquerade when using ROUTE

Hi,

I want to route all outgoing port-25-traffic produced by the clients
over ppp1. The rest schould take the default route over ppp0.

I used the following command:

iptables -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 25 -t mangle -i eth0 -j ROUTE
--oif ppp1

But the source addresses of the packets are wrong as "tcpdump -ni ppp1"
shows:

01:20:24.422756 IP 192.168.0.4.32825 > 160.45.10.13.25: S
2020082843:2020082843(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 266850[|tcp]>

192.168.0.4 is the IP adress of the client which tried to connect to the
mailserver 160.45.10.13.25.

Masquarding is done to 192.168.0.0/24:

# iptables -t nat -L POSTROUTING
Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
MASQUERADE  all  --  192.168.0.0/24       anywhere

My default route is set to ppp0.

So, how can I replace/masquerade the 192.168.0.4 by the official IP
address of ppp1?

Regards,
Fabian
