[Mailman-Developers] Hotmail - claims mail loop

'Scuse me asking in mailman-developers, but I think it's 
where I'm most likely to get an answer. 

I'm running a list on mailman 2.0.6 with what I think is a 
generic setup - it's on the machine of a small ISP and not 
under my control. [CC: support at gn.apc.org - who will be as
interested as I to find out what's going on.]

A subset of users at hotmail.com are generating error 
messages as below. 

I have looked in the archive and found the HellMail 
thread in mailman-users. But this list isn't set up 
like the one discussed there. It has: 
  "Hide the sender of a message, replacing it..." = FALSE
  "Where are replies to list messages directed?"  = This list

A default-setting Hotmail account <uksubstest at hotmail.com>
that I set up for testing received the welcome message and 
four subsequent messages OK, then bounced as recorded below. 
Hotmail claims a loop, but I see no evidence of one...
though it does seem to be bouncing around a lot inside
the ISP's machines. 

One odd thing is that there are 27 hotmail users subscribed,
and only the 15 listed below are bouncing. 

Other lists that I run on the same host have the same 
settings as above and seemed to be getting through 
to hotmail last week, though they're much lower-traffic. 

Can someone who understand SMTP properly scan the following
and provide me with a clue?

Is the only answer to direct replies to the individual 
sender, and attempt to indoctrinate users with the resulting
changes? (These are sub-editors - line-editors in Westpondian 
- so they're not all very good at precise readings when not 
paid so to be!)
