Where could I find this message?

That was probably it.

Good stuff!  Thanks for your pointers, I was now able to work out out. 
I listed all my digest subscribers and ran them all through "exim -bt"
grepping for the mail server that is listed in the header-info in the
enclosed mail.  I found only one address from that server which I tested
- and reproduced the silly bounce message.  Now it's unsubscribed,
problem solved, many thanks!
