Does this happen shortly after responding to a message on this list?  If
so, some people have their mailers misconfigured in such a way that a
certain header (I forget which at the moment, Sender: ??) causes your
mailer to try to send the message to such a person, but the address is
not valid (usually only a local address).  This bounce will come
directly from your system (exim).
