What is it exactly that you try to achieve?

You want the mail for a domain send to your home PC? I guess you have a mailserver running on your home pc then? If this is what you want, the only thing you have to do is change the MX record to your home pc and make sure a mailserver is running.

In that case, what is the port 53 question about? What has the DNS server to do with that the mail gets directed to your machine?

Be a little clearer in what it is that you want and then may be we can help you.
