Ed,
without seeing the full header,most of us would only be able to "guess";
with the full header of the bounce messages, some of us could tell you
what happened.
So, by way of guessing, here goes:
when a list sends you a message, it gets bounced for one of several
reasons; that your ISP is ignoring them (not accepting messages),
that someone in the loop (say, for example you use "
[hidden email]"
as an email address, and it merely forwards email to whatever
address you give it to do that) could be down, or having trouble
relaying to you, or there could be a DNS (Domain Name Service that
converts the name to an I. P. address) failure for a variety of
reasons.
When that happens, some lists will unsubscribe you (a good practice
to reduce dead traffic).
So the headers contain the information of where and what went wrong,
which could help.
Sometimes an ISP tries to "help" you by counting all kinds of stuff
as SPAM, some correctly and some not so correctly.
The problem was not likely at Elecraft, but more likely something
with your ISP, whom you should be able to contact for help, though
typically they are not much help in my experience, which is why some
of us end up learning this stuff in the school of hard knocks.
