Good.  Then what's the problem?

Do you just want the list to be tuned so that you won't have to take a
few seconds to edit out any addresses you don't want to send to?
Basically, on the assumption that everyone shares your particular
preferences?  Because...

...that's sure what this sounds like.  If so, I have little sympathy
for your position.

I know lots of things it could be.  I don't know what it is.  Nor have
I seen anyone claiming to have actually looked into it enough to know
what it is.  (The most plausible guess I've seen is DMARC, which by
design breaks mailing lists, but, based on just what I've seen said,
nobody has actually dug up enough info to confirm or refute that.  I
don't have enough visibility into any relevant system to do so myself;
all the suspensions I've personally had have been my system performing
as configured, rejecting mail I want it to reject.)
