GAH! Lesson Well learned.

1050 emails!!!!

I contacted my server administrator and he helped me out with the excessive bounced emails. Delete the catch-all.

I guess the catch-all is what that's for: to catch ALL of your emails. You would be able to type "whateveryouwant@yourdomainaddress.com" and whoever owns yourdomainaddress.com will get your email, even if it's "blahblahblah@yourdomainaddress.com" or "afsdafsdafsd@yourdomainaddress.com" if (s)he has a catch-all.

To check to see if your server has a catch-all, (you will have to have admin rights, otherwise, contact your server administrator) look where your aliases are located (depending on the operating system). Find something that says to the extent of "Catch-all" and delete it.

That it. ALL other emails must go through the aliases or email boxes.

And I was worried about having to change domain names. Glad I was wrong.
