In other words: you want to be able to receive mail for your DynDNS domain on your local system? That is probably a bad idea, since every time your public IP address changes, mail can get lost. I really advise against this. > Technical details of temporary failure: > The recipient server did not accept our requests to connect.

You probably have to make your router do port forwarding. Then you have to configure Postfix to accept mail from the outside. Beware not to create an "open relay", otherwise your system will become a gateway for spam in no time. But I still think that's a bad idea. If you want to run your own mailserver, think about spending a few dollars a month for a linux server with a static IP address. That's what I do.
