    This means, you can the both IPs on 192.168.70.0

    If I understand it correct: You allow ping. So you can ping your Webserver
    192.168.70.10, but not your mail-Server 192.168.70.1?.

    If you can reach your mail server if it's MASQ, your will masq the IP and the
    firewall
    May be, your default router is wrong. It must be the IP of NIC of firewall
    which belongs to DMZ.
    Try a traceroute from your mail server into your internal network to prove
    this.
