That's a sendmail message saying there's too many "Received" lines. It's
either an overly-long network path (in the sense of 'too many hops', not
'too many hubs') or a mail loop. Probably the latter.
As someone has already said, if they're all 'from: <>" then your sendmail
configuration is broken - it's not handling null envelope senders. Null
senders are used for bounce messages to avoid mail loops.
