What do you want to know about these log entries? The seem pretty self explanatory. You cannot send mail directly to user root.
 
but when any user tries to send out. Ill get a new one. ill try send out an email and it will return it.
 
other ones i have here are stating below

2009-03-06 00:18:53 H=mail.ibw-institut.de [194.209.15.244] F=<> rejected RCPT <[email protected]>: Unrouteable address
2009-03-06 00:18:53 H=mail.ibw-institut.de [194.209.15.244] incomplete transaction (QUIT) from <>

Subdomains usually do not have MX records.

1click-hosting.com does not have a MX record either.

Code: 
dig 1click-hosting.com MX

It appears ingoo.1click-hosting.com is your hostname.

[email protected] tried to send mail to [email protected].

1. Mail should not be coming from [email protected] unless there is a script doing it.
2. babel.fr does not have an MX records and cannot aceept email.
3. Mail sent to [email protected] failed and tried to be returned to [email protected] but it can't since there are no MX records for ingoo.1click-hosting.com.

GXX, that was post 15. I would have thought by post 43 kevster would have gotten past that but apparently he still doesn't get it. So I felt the need to post it again.

Show us the log entries where it cannot send to a valid email address outside the server.
 
Kevster, this thread has gone on for days now. Have you resolved the DNS issue?

Bottom line is as has been posted before; you must not have references to YOUR DNS server in your resolv.conf file.

You should have in it two nameservers given to you by your upstream. If your upstream doesn't have two nameservers, or you don't want to use them, then use the OpenDNS nameservers posted earlier in this thread, but then you should set up a free account with them, and turn off all their special features; they're designed for desktop systems and could cause problems on servers.

If all you want to do is restate your problems over and over again and not follow anyone's suggestions, then of course that's your privilege, but then you'll never resolve the issue.
