Looks like the bounced message gets redirected to 
"prvs=986f23af3=skdeb@syrano.acb.uc.edu" and such user (or expanded 
address) does not exist neither as alias nor as normal mailbox and this
is something the mail admins of the "syrano.acb.uc.edu" site should 
check.

OTOH, I would contact the Debian mailing list admin 
(listmaster[at]lists.debian.org) so he/she can check the internal mailing 
lit server logs to find out why are your messages bounced. 

In the meantime, you can try to use another e-mail account (aka: another
smtp server) for posting or even use the Gmane web interface:

http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user

Remember that you are not required to be subscribed to the list for 
sending e-mails.
