Well, I got your message, and a couple of recent ones, so it looks like
things are back to normal.
Our university filters messages on receipt on its MTA. It checks for

the start of the message body. I'm not doing any filtering in my
MUA (except moving all Midgard list messages into a specific
folder).
It could be that your mailing list software is forwarding e-mail it
receives that doesn't have a From: header (instead of automatically
sticking one in if it is missing) - and it is those messages that are
bouncing. Yours and mine have the headers, so they don't bounce.
As long as it only bounces questions, and not answers, I'm happy.
