In all likelihood the ISP hosting computer-go.org uses a 3rd party or 
distributed blacklist system rejecting email using certain constraints. 
This almost certainly considerably reduces their work load a great deal 
and reduces the spam sent to the list.

I'm not sure who set up computer-go.org with the ISP, but the first step 
should probably be for them to contact the ISP and enquire whether it 
would be possible to remove this feature for computer-go.org (they may 
or may not be able to disable it for a single mailing list).

They might also enquire whether it would be possible to enable archiving 
of the list.
