You are getting this error because apache@localhost.localdomain cannot
be reached from Internet and whoever you are sending mail to may have
something called sender check. This verifies if the sender of this mail
is reachable. This avoids spammers to send mails using unreachable
addresses. Also he may be checking spf-record for your From: domain on
mail envelop.

What error you are getting after you change address in apache and try
sending mail after restarting apache?
