As for google mail accepting mail from root they do, I use it all the time on my server, good for denyhosts ;)

That sounds, simply, like it cannot resolve googlemail.com (going by the
last bit of information). Try looking it up, on that PC, manually.
e.g.
[tim@serge ~]$ nslookup googlemail.com
Server: 192.168.1.2
Address: 192.168.1.2#53

Additionally, I'd be very surprised if googlemail would accept a message
alleging to have come from <root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>. Most mail servers
will only accept mail coming from valid domain names. Perhaps that's
the "Host not found" issue with that failure message.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
