For some reason, understanding how to run a for-fun email server is beyond me. So, I'm trying to get this configured one step at a time. I find some tutorials online that say..."Yeah, just setup exim, fetchmail, squirrelmail, courier-imap, and spamassassin and you're almost there!" That sounds like a lot to me. So...I'm starting small. First things first, I want to get exim working with courier-imap.
Here is my setup, then I will show the errors I'm getting:

Hmm.
You don't own/control homelinux.org, right? Just mdg.homelinux.org?
There seems to be an MX record for the former, but not for the latter. I wonder if this is part of the problem. Can you create an MX record for mdg.homelinux.org, and have dyndns.org point it to your box?
