I had several of those for about two weeks, but after searching the
/var/log/maillog carefully for the domain complaining, I found that
there was no email out from my server to that domain - only the incoming
complaints. So I can only guess that someone was spoofing and using my
email address but actually sending from some other machine - then when
the complaining recipient replied, it came to my actual domain.
