So we're having some ISP issues lately, meaning we have to reboot our cable modem like 2-3 times a day. An unfortunate side-effect I've found is, once the users max out their connection limit (which I've set to 10, and many people do), if we reboot the cable modem, they can't log in cause their connections get 'stuck' until I

Is it:
(a) your server is on the Internet, and your clients are behind the dodgy cable modem, or
(b) your mail server behind the dodgy cable modem and the clients are out on the Internet
?
Either way I would suggest an improvement to your architecture would be to put the mail server on the same side of the dodgy cable modem as the majority of users.
If you have a mix of office users and out-of-office users, I would say put the mail server on the Internet side. At least then the people struggling out in a hotel in the middle of nowhere won't have to fight your dodgy cable modem as well as their dodgy foreign internet connection.
