Singleton errors like that could be because whomever sent spam to your
listname-REQUEST address:  the automatic listname-REQUEST message bounced.

Or, if posting to your list is restricted to subscribers (or whatever),
the automatic message to the non-authorized poster (the spammer) bounced.

Either of those will, I think, result in an error message to the
Errors-to= address, either as an individual item or an item in the DEMR.
