+1 on that suggestion.  Check out the ClearOS logs.  Perhaps the OP has an 
infected box applying a DDOS to someone off the LAN or spamming through his 
firewall.  Logs should show this.  Blocking port 25 outbound may solve this 
problem.

+1 on pfsense.

I just replaced an IPCop box with a newer pfSense box when a power failure 
fried the IPCop's power supply.  Trivial install and pfSense supports dual WAN 
which IPCop doesn't.
