As far as I can see, the problem isn't that mail to root on your local machine can't be delivered, but that popcon tries to send an email to the internet using r...@big.lan.gnu as the sender address. This mail can't be sent to the popcon team at Debian because the domain "big.lan.gnu" doesn't exist on the internet, hence the sender adress is invalid, and your ISP's relay server rejects this mail. The solution is to make your local exim4 to rewrite both the local part and the domain part of the sender address.
