I got the message with the headers sent offlist (recovered from my "Bounces 
folder) and can see what's happening.  The server at 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (a newbie subscriber) is misconfigured 
(figures, it's an MS Exchange server) and is bouncing mail back to the newbie 
address.  The misconfiguration is so bad that the mail is being returned to 
the newbie list as being from the original sender, in this case you.  Sympa 
sees that and the bounce and sends it back to you.  

I'm not really sure what should be done with this.  The real problem is the 
server at kaarinateam.fi being so badly done that it's sending mail as though 
it was from your address.  If this was happening on one of my lists I'd 
likely remove their address from the list and add their IP to my servers 
iptable as a "drop" address for email (there's no killing an address like 
overkilling it).
