I used to get a similar problem with our EMAS machine... it would send
messages that had originator fields like

	From: Some.Body @ uk.ac.edinburgh

with spaces in the address. Sendmail would generate errors to

	"Some.Body", "@", and "uk.ac.edinburgh"

Your problem sounds the same. I fixed mine by changing the "o" option
as follows:

	# DO NOT default messages to old style - comma delimiting only.
	OoF

Only commas will seperate addresses in address lists now. I have not
noticed any problems with doing this.
