OK, after help from Katolaz and Jaromil (again thanks for the help),
and with help from one of my Samba team mates the problem has been
found.
It is all down to an anti-spam rule that Samba uses, the rule is for
any address that is info@<whatever>, so when 'info at smallinnovations
dot nl' sent an email to the Devuan mailing list and it was then sent
to me, it bounced.

Perhaps that user would like to change to change their email address,
it wont affect me in future because lists.dyne.org has now been added
as an exception, but it could affect others.
