I'm having a serious problem with my Imail server. About 3 times in the past two weeks I have had to go in and stop all imail services and delete GSE, SMD, and VAC files in the spool directory because something is flooding the queue, roughly 5k-6k messages in a matter of minutes. To bandage it up I run my sniffer and block the culprit IP on the perimeter. More of a deterrent than a solid fix, but I can't find the cause of the problem and I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. I'm also looking into using and ISCSI SAN to hold my domains/users/spool directories, has anyone implemented this and does it work well?

iMail setup is as follows:
Installed on VMware Host
    using local user authentication.
    using local mailbox folders.
    relaying only allowed for specified IP addresses.
    no AV on server
    external barracuda spam filter
    Not using virtual domains
