Mmm, it's not complaining that your mailbox is full, it's complaining that
the mailbox it's sending to is full. It's not an error at your end, it's
just giving you a warning that it couldn't send an email to somebody you
tried to send an email to. And remember that when you send email to a list,
your message gets sent to everybody subscribed to that list.

Because heiliger@bra.terra.com.br is subscribed to the list, so every mail
you send to the list gets sent there, as well as to everybody else who's 
subscribed to the list. Since heiliger's mail box is full and since you're
listed in the From: line, you get an error message because the mail wasn't
accepted.
