And what was the recipient address?

You only receive a notice when a bounce triggers disabling delivery. In
any case, this is apparently not a bounce of a message from Mailman to
the user, but a bounce of the user's post to Mailman, so you wouldn't
see anything from Mailman because Mailman never saw the post.

And what do these notices say? Note that if user at mail dot com is a list
member, adding user at mail dot com to accept_these_nonmembers should make no
difference.

Not without more information such as MTA log entries and Mailman log
entries.
