Actually, sendmail -bt is very helpful.  It has pointed out the problem
for you.  Mail to 'root@ralph.cs.haverford.edu' should select the "local"
mailer, not the "ether" mailer.  This is why the mail is looping and
failing.

I can't tell you exactly what is wrong, since I don't have any NeXT
systems.  But you might check into $w (the lines beginning Dw) and the
class $=w (the lines beginning Cw).  Possibly there is also a $m
and a $=m, which in that case should match your domain of cs.haverford.edu.
