I can tell you what's special about mail from that subscriber.
I have leading industry standard email security enabled on my email.
Things like DKIM and DMARC which are specifically designed to tell
receiving email servers where email from my domain should come from and
what to do with email that does not come from my servers.
So, receiving servers that are also running leading industry standard
filters honor my settings and reject the messages that claim to be from
me but do not come from my mail server. - Mailman naively interprets
this as a bounce.
Suffice it to say, that email server industry is changing and mailing
lists are going to have to change to keep up with the times.
This problem is happening to a lot of mailing lists and will start
happening to more and more as more of the email industry adopts things
like DKIM and DMARC.
Note: Multiple governments around the world are strongly desiring
things like DKIM and DMARC. Germany is probably a leader. US senators
are asking US governmental agencies to follow suit. - Suffice it to
say, that more and better email security is coming. (I'm just an early
adopter.)
