There are really two bugs here, but it's the sendmail one that seems
to need publicizing so all the sites using it can fix their programs.

Subject: Mail Problem
Hi,
Last night we had a problem with a msg from your site that caused
our SMTP server (sendmail) to loop. The problem appears to be a bogus
MAIL FROM line "<Eliot Moore <Elmo@Mit-MC>@MIT-MC>". This morning
I changed the config file to prevent the loop, and successfully
received the problem msg. If this msg is being sent to any other
sites running sendmail, I'd suspect they're also having problems.
Here's an extract from our log file.
