You see, sendmail is very poor about dealing with unqualified local email addresses: "root" and yout local account name won't get relayed to the smarthost unless you set up aliases or .forwards or other settings for them, anyway. postfix can handle that, but then it ignores local .forwards and locally configured aliases. Also unacceptable in my book. Exim rather easily does both. If you'd like, I'll post my notes on the configuration.
