I don't think the INSIDE.DOMAIN.DE in the Message-ID: is relevant to
the issue. Nor do I think the user is bouncing.

It looks to me like the user is sending his post to the
listname-bounces at mail4.exozet.com address instead of to
listname at mail4.exozet.com. I suspect that these posts are replies and
his MUA is replying to the envelope sender instead of the proper
address.
