Not sure why you need an extra IP number for the SMTP traffic, but
OK.

That's an odd rule. You do realize that it passes _all_ SMTP traffic
that comes in from the outside world, right?

I hope you really mean,

    # natd -n de0 -u -redirect_port tcp 192.168.1.2:25 139.142.250.39:25

That is not what you want to do.

I'd offer more help, but you never actually told us what was or was
not working.
