That is no public valid email address.

You should not mail as root! Even not for testing purposes, as root acts
different than other mortal users.

So you are running qmail if I interpret the helpdesk reply correctly?

Why at all do you send with root@localhost? The PHP application is very
very hopefully not running with root's permissions!
Or do you intend to send to root@localhost? There would be no reason to
do so. Like the helpdesk says, use a valid user address in your scripts.
