I have the same problem.

Not this way. Sympa sends "list not available" message to some 
address@concealed, that server replays "Mail can not be delivered", 
sympa places this message into /bad folder and send back again "list not 
available" message. And so on.

I do not know how to correctly fix it in sympa (may be I have some wrong 
configuration) but for now I from time to time add add 
address@concealed that causes this problem into header_checks

/^From:.*postmaster\@ncld\.onmicrosoft\.com.*/ REJECT 

in postfix.

This is an ugly hack, but it helps to stay alive :-)
