Yes, I understand that.

However, I am trying to understand what is happening in my example
bounce, because -- it looks to me as if -- this is a new type of
malicious tool that bypasses normal anti-relaying configuration.
Somehow, even though I am not an open relay, somebody sent mail to me
that my system bounced, then relayed anyway . . .

What am I missing?
