Based on my understanding of the above (nat'd), all outbound packets
from any system behind your firewall *should* have their source IP
address rewritten to the public IP address of your firewall.

Exactly what rejection is being logged by *some domains* as you stated
above? Can you show the DSN or a logfile entry from maillog? Since you
state *some domains* are rejecting e-mail, I suspect that this could be
a DNS PTR record problem, not a firewall rule problem.
