Well there's the problem.  You can't send mail into the outside world which
contains an invalid/non-existent RFC821 MAIL FROM:<address> for an unregisterd,
non-existent domain.  This is guaranteed to fail, and/or produce strange and
puzzling errors.

Yes, either choose an existing, valid fully qualified domain name or register
the FQDN you are using in DNS.
