Have you tried all the ways of slowing your bandwidth use for mail?
Limiting connections, blocking spamming IP's at the mta or firewall,
blacklists at mta, etc?
Dns shouldn't need all that much bandwidth, as you can run many lookups over a
dialup connection. Maybe you need to slow some of the other bandwidth uses at
your site. Maybe use QOS or other traffic shaping to leave more headroom for
your critical apps.
