Hmm, methinks these really ought to be bounced to the postmaster of the broken receiving site. It is not that sourceware has been actually doing anything specific to make the recipient's MTA refuse e-mail. Even if some spam prevention has been installed to block some kind of e-mail, whoever requested some kind of e-mail traffic need to have a way to whitelist the traffic requested, and I believe all list server software provides means for the recipient to identify the source, such as a `List-ID' header or suchlike.
