If you think it's enotify, you should uninstall it.

Ban the IPs that are bot-like.

Now there's some fine customer service for ya :P

Seriously, you should start by limiting functions that may cause this, if you doubt enotify is causing this - disable it, if you have a chatbox or something, try disabling it. Simply based on IPs and hit numbers one can't really even try to guess the real cause they suspended you....
