Hi Len

It's likely the addy in Q is subbed to the list you sent to. And of course it 
got relayed to it. Since it bounced for whatever reason you ended up with the 
bounce notification as the originator of the post. That'd be my understanding 
of what has happened. Prob just set a filter to filter out that addy and you 
wont see it again
