What's the best way to deal with those?


That's not it.

Look at the list's content filtering options. What is happening is that
pass_mime_types is not empty and does not contain the content-type of
the message and filter_action is reject.

This most often happens when the content-type is text/html and that is
not allowed, but it can also happen for example it the message's
content-type is say multipart/related, and pass_mime_types contains
multipart/mixed and multipart/alternative but not multipart and not
multipart/related.
