Hard to decide as the OP did not gave that much information, certainly
because he is not well experienced with mail server configuration.

When using masquerading he should know that root is an exposed user and
thus is excluded from masquerading. And the OP explicitly mentioned the
case where the sender address should be root at whatever.

Reading the cf/README is very important anyway. A smarter reading is
provided by the HTML formatted documentation
