I don't remember who posted this to comp.mail.sendmail some months back,
but it seems to work good..

For the line:

R$+ at $+		$1@$2				"at" -> "@" for RFC 822

add the following to where you define stuff:

CO. : % @ ! ^ / [ ] 		

and substitute this rule:

R$*$~Oat$~O$*		$1$2@$3$4			" at " becomes "@"
