I read this list and most others on gmane, so don't see the bounces, but 
I get the gentoo-nfp list in digest form, and get the message about it 
bouncing once in awhile.  Since it's a digest, that's several posts, 
which is frustrating.

I had my ISP check into it and it seems someone is likely posting spam or 
the like, which gets digested with the other messages by the listbot, 
then rejected due to the URL in the spam being on a blacklist my ISP 
uses.  They said I could try to take it further, coordinating with the 
list admin and my ISP to see what might be done, but no guarantees.  But 
it doesn't happen too often and at least now I know what's going on, so 
I've not worried about it... except that it's still frustrating to miss 
the messages, but I can look them up in the Gentoo archive if I need to.
