Not from raven you don't.  What happens is that for everyone subscribed
to the list that gets full headers, your return receipt request is
forwarded into their copy -- so you get a return receipt from everyone
that reads your posting (with a return receipt compatible mail client).

Likewise for your "other mailing list in Denver".

Don't use return receipts for list mail, unless you just like excessive
mail :-)
