Are you really using your root account for mails?

My ISP will not accept mails from a different domain (valid or not). Of 
course I could change hostname and/or mailname, but that wouldn't be 
quite correct, or am I missing something (It sounds like spoofing to 
me)?  And you would also have to have the same username as the local 
part in your mail.

You can send mails via gmail without address rewriting (because they 
rewrite the address anyway), but for gmail you need working smtp auth 
and tls.
