A bit more information would help. Where are root's messages
supposed to go? Is the host listed in /etc/hosts? What mail server
are you running, and does it know it is supposed to deliver mail for
that address locally?

If you are using DHCP to configure your netowrk interface, then it
may be that the mail server is trying to look up the hostname to
send mail to using the name server(s) supplied by the router.
