Looks like you have require_explicit_destination turned on and the message is getting 
trapped by that.

(From the help)

require_explicit_destination (privacy): Must posts have list named in destination (to, 
cc) field (or be among the acceptable alias names, specified below)?

Many (in fact, most) spams do not explicitly name their myriad destinations in the 
explicit destination addresses - in fact, often the to field has a totally bogus 
address for obfuscation. The constraint applies only to the stuff in the address 
before the '@' sign, but still catches all such spams.

The cost is that the list will not accept unhindered any postings relayed from other 
addresses, unless

   1. The relaying address has the same name, or
   2. The relaying address name is included on the options that specifies acceptable 
aliases for the list.
