Mierda, don't top post (as other have pointed out). Instead, after
the new information has been added. Post your message after the
previous response. It looks more natural, like a spoken conversation.

I'm using bottom posting (the preferred method). My responses follow
your previous message. Also note that I trimmed out some of the extra
useless information such as the mail list signature.

Basically this is telling you that your MTA (I guess that's exim)
doesn't support remote domains (gmail.com) so the message was
sent to root on your local machine.

You'll either need to setup exim to properly send mail to remote
domains or, if that is not possible, setup sendmail as has been
suggested using my instructions:
