You are right, no receipt requests should be sent to a list of users.
Still, you are (or your server is) sending the receipt not to the one that
requested it, but to the entire list (which appears only in the "to" field
of the message). This is not right (and it's annoying for all the other
users).
Try to set your server or email client to send the receipt only to the
address that requested it (the address specified in the "from" field). That
should solve the problem.

The problem stems from whoever sent the original email on this subject as
they must have put a 'receipt' request on the email they sent.

Our ccMail is just returning that receipt when the mail is picked up here.
I can't switch it off and anyway our server is technically doing the right
thing.

Whoever sent the email either shouldn't ask for a receipt when posting to a
mailing list or possibly the list should trap and squash requests for
receipts.
