Jon, I agree with what you say, except that the list probably thinks the message send succeeded. The message isn't bounced back to the list - the spam warning goes back to the original sender contained in the "From" header. The spam warning software is ignoring the "Reply-To" header.
Therefore the list may be oblivious to the problems, and the person behind the firewall may think the list is broken because his posts and replies don't make it through.
