Simple- someone out there is using a mailer that interpreted the original
sender as the proper address to send a return receipt to. It's just like
those autoresponders that send the originator the "out of office"
notification.

I expect someone else on the list can identify the mailer from the receipt
format.

It's a wide, wonderful internet.
