Is there any particular reason why you're running Sendmail?

Your address rewriting seems to be seriously fscked. It seems that the
address is being rewritten to garbage which is then rejected since it is
meaningless gunk. The ">cockroach<@desire.ch." appears to be the
problem.
I'd suggest either trying another MTA or buying the bat book and looking
at how address rewriting should be done in there.

How is Messenger trying to get the mail out? I'd guess it's bypassing
whichever sendmail thinks it can do rewriting.
