Did you ask for Delivery Status Notification when you sent your message
(possibly via a default setting in your mailer)? If so, you may be
getting a DSN from a member of the list.

Personally, I find DSNs to be completely useless. I leave them
permanently off and never respond to them (they can also be a security
problem).
