Do you need netbios protocol on your xmail server? If not then remove it. If you need it and your server is not behind a firewall then atleast disable netbios on the network card that connects to the internet. I hope you have two network cards, 1 internal and 1 external.
Try using the Network Monitor to capture some traffic and see what the broadcasts to port 137 are trying to look up. What version and service pack of windows are you running?
