You'd use DNAT rules in iptables.  For example, for SMTP mail:

$IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p TCP -i $INET_IFACE -d $MAIL_IP --dport
25 -j DNAT --to-destination $DMZ_MAIL_IP

Where $INET_IFACE is your external interface, $MAIL_IP is your public
mail IP and $DMZ_MAIL_IP is your private LAN IP for the mail server.
