emerald.incredible.com.na is not a local_domain at emerald.incredible.com.na.
Indeed if you tried a "mail from" in another domain the error would
be "relay not permitted". The domain indeed is incredible.com.na. So
you have to try root@??? (and it works). This is also
the reason why root@??? does not work as a
sender, is an undeliverable address.
