First you have to know what the problem is. Look at the mail log analysis panel and the reason for deferrals. Most likely reason is your ISP is blocking port 25 traffic.

I had to reinstall the whole server to get it to function but the mail log said somtehing about "todo" was sleeping and could not be opened???

Is there a possibility that someone could have hacked their way into the system and started to use the server as spam mail server, because of the high amount of messages in queue?

Possible, but I think unlikely, and as you appear to have destroyed the evidence, we'll now never know for sure.
