Two different methods of spaming, that both involve your list in some way.

They were probably not generated by your list, yet some header of the spamage referenced your list.  In the first case, could be a bounce from a postmaster address at an external site trying to email your list.  In the Error Monitor Report, your list OWNER-listname was the bounce to address.
