Yeah, got the same from listmaster, for the same exact message (I 
receive list mail via GMX too).

My uneducated guess would be that GMX is applying additional 
undocumented criteria when deciding whether a message is spam or not, 
e.g. it might be that they didn't like the From: or something else 
entirely.

In any case (as far as I understand) bouncing is wrong, because it can 
be abused by real spammers.
