That is exactly the reason. 010110 just happened to be yesterday's date. :P)

listname-digest: listame,

The same on both -outgoing addresses. It prevents sendmail from advertising your
delivery address. It would also be wise to add an entry to the virtusertable
that makes delivery to that alias impossible like;
listname-outgoing010110@your.domain unknown
listname-digest-outgoing010110@your.domain :error message... user unknown
