Is there somewhere else I should be asking questions, or does this usually take a few days to get help in here? Thanks

Yes, you should be asking the Homestead support department.

As mentioned above, your support requests must go through Homestead Support.

These are community supported forums and everyone that helps on here does so in their spare time they reply to posts as and when they see them and feel they have something to contribute, and they're all volunteers,

Lol, I did ask homestead, they told me to come here. That's how I found this place. Homestead has no idea why it's not working.

This would appear to be a problem with the Homestead certificate on their server, you can accept the invalid certificate in ZD but if it's still a problem then I suggest you ask them again. Does the certificate throw the same error when you use any other mail client?
