These are probably the result of Spam, but it is difficult to see
exactly what would produce that exact message to you.

The above message is a reply to a DSN sent From: you to
listname-request at mydomain, however the DSN itself should not be From:
you, it should be From: something like mailer-daemon at somedomain.

If you want to track this down, you need to look at your MTA logs to
see where the message to listname-request came from.

It could be the result of Spam sent to some undeliverable address with
a forged From: listname-request at mydomain, but that doesn't explain why
the "results of your email commands" response was sent to you.
