Well, this is one good reason why you ALWAYS give servers static IP's.
Your mail server had a static IP. This IP was tied to your MX record for
receiving external mail.
Chances are that IP has now changed. You wont be able to get mail until
you switch it back to the old one.
DHCP is great for desktops, but never use it on a server.
