MX Records/Dyn DNS

Hi,

I have been playing around with the MX records on DYN Dns, and still i am
not able to recieve any e-mail for my Dyn DNS domain.

I have set the MX record as : woja.ath.cx

as woja.ath.cx is the name i have registered and points to my IP address.

I'd just like a pointer into where i am going wrong, or what is going wrong.

I have a cable internet connection, with optus@home.

I have sendmail set up 100%, it sends mail out of the domain like a charm. I
have listed all the possible hostnames to recieve mail for sendmail.

I am using the DNS servers from the optus@home network.

I have checked the MX records, and this is what they show:
