I sort of stand corrected. I did find a knowledge base article that says if DNS fails it will send a request to the WINS server on port 137. But it's not a broadcast as you said you were seeing.
I also found the following article which describes how to disable WINS/NetBT name resolution. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;299977 Is WINS installed on your xmail server? Does your xmail server need to use WINS or look up NetBios names for any other reason? If there is a reason then you won't be able to disable it.
