I may have misread your post but am I correct in thinking that on this and perhaps other occasions you have used a
personal gmail address to send a rejection rather than simply use the Groups.io template?
I think the answer is simple; the address that had "applied" and to which you replied was a spammer and the address effectively bogus. I was thus rejected by the recipient email server, and notified you as the sender of that rejection. Had you sent it from the Groups.io templatre it would still have been rejected, but you would not have seen that rejection, although Groups.io may well have been notified.
As an aside I would add that I see using a
personal email address for group business such as this as
seriously unwise. Had your mail been delivered then you would have handed a possible trouble - maker your personal address which could then be abused (i.e. spammed). Using a personal address with established group members (who will be something of a "known quantity") is probably OK, but not with a total unknown such as a random applicant.
