relay problem -- you're not permitted to relay.  The mail server must
accept mail from the web host for relay.  You need an entry in
/etc/mail/access for the web server.

This will work, but you may find some mails servers complaining about
your not having an MX address.  Best to have the mail sent to a system
you are permitted to relay through that is a legitimate e-mail server. 
That server can always rewrite the mail header any way you need.
