If it is only happening on replies to messages you have sent, someone is 
simply hitting 'reply-all' which has been the canonical way to respond 
to mail list messages from the beginning of time, since they don't all 
set the reply-to: header to direct mail back to the list.  Some mailers 
will only include the reply-to: address in this case, but I don't think 
that is universal.
