I forget exactly why it happens but it is gmails fault. I would bet that
if you were to look in your gmail web account you would see the message
properly filtered. I used to use IMAP and filtered everything with gmails
labels which made gmail work as expected. I have since dropped IMAP for
POP and I'm back in the same boat. I don't see my replies to the list,
nor do I see new messages I send to any list where you would expect to see
your bounced message.
I read on I think mutt-users that gmx.com handles mail much better.
However setting up exim4 to work properly with their server has eluded me and
I really enjoy how well gmail is handling spam. Depending on your MUA I
believe there are a few workarounds with hooks. I have no idea what you
can pull together with Evolution.
