Most likely, "/usr/lib/sendmail" is Exim itself. So your asking Exim(1) to
send the message back through Exim(2), which will then launch the system
filter on the message, which asks Exim(2) to send the message through
Exim(3), etc. ad infinitum (or until the loop is detecteed).

If you really, truly, honestly want Exim to receive the message and then
pass it off to Sendmail, then you'll have to make sure Sendmail is
installed and working. But *why*?!?
