Scott, tell me if my thinking is off but I thought it would have been something on my mail server because when I reboot it fixed it.I hate to ask, but did you look at that URL or check your MX records???
You have a serious problem with your mailserver, and were told exactly what it is (and it is something that will *definitely* occur again), but it sounds like you don't even care?
Even if there *is* a problem with your mailserver, do you really want people thinking you are out of business when your primary mailserver is down? With the most basic mailserver setup, mail will typically be retried for 1-2 days and then bounce with a "Mailserver can't be reached" type of message. In your case, mail will bounce immediately with a "That user doesn't exist" message!
I can tell you with just about 100% certainty what happened here (although I can't give you all the details). For some reason (that's the part I can't give you details about), E-mail couldn't be sent to your primary mailserver. It could be any of a number of reasons -- your mailserver could have been down, your Internet connection out, a major backbone down on the Internet, etc. When that happens, you have told mailservers to go to mail.teleteam.net and dns2.teleteam.net, which are 2 mailservers that are set up to bounce your E-mail.
You can look at your SMTP log file to get a better idea of what happened. Other than that, it is very hard to say what might have happened before the reboot (DoS attack, SMTP service stopped, etc.).
