Is there any header that even remotely looks like it's asking for a
delivery receipt? If you haven't done so, try looking at the message
in the archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file just in case
there was such a header that got removed on it's way to some but not
all recipients.

I haven't seen it on my production lists, and I'm sure some of my users
must be using Outlook.

That seems unlikely. Perhaps Outlook is sending unrequested receipts,
but that seems unlikely too. Perhaps there is something in the
application/ms-tnef (Winmail.dat) part itself that asks for a receipt.
You could try using content filtering to remove these if you aren't
already.

If you do find a header that's causing this, please let us know as we
definitely want to add it to the list of headers we remove in
Cleanse.py.
