Do I understand you to mean, James, that you bounce spam messages back
to the sender, even if the sender is a listserv? That seems like a
really bad idea, punishing the innocent at best, and causing problems
like this at worst.
IMO the best spam strategy is to drop it as early as possible at the
receiver (ideally while the SMTP connection is still open, before any
queueing).
We can look at making spam rejection better for ceph-users, but I wanted
to understand whether you and Alex are actually bouncing things back to
ceph-users, and if so, ask about why.

This list actually does get a bit of spam, unlike most lists I'm subscribed to. I'm surprised more reputation filters haven't blocked it. Rejecting spam is the only right way to do it (junk mail folders are dumb), but obviously the ceph-users list is taking the bounces as indicating a problem with your account.
Probably the only thing to do is to white list the address and put up with the spam.

This is the third of these I've got in a month. I get them on no
other mailing lists and I'm on quite a lot of lists. I have an
outsourced spam thing which is generally well behaved but will
reject spam. Any ideas why this might be?
