Maybe mailmarshal@standardbank.co.za is used by SuSE to scan incoming
mail. Sounds like it's saying that it will give SuSE the opportunity to
decide whether to accept your encrypted message, even though it can't
scan it. Did
you just (maybe inadvertently) start encrypting your email messages, either
...
for the first time or via some different encrypting method?
No sir, it's been the same gpg signed for a while now, nothing changed that
I know of.

Or maybe there was something unusual in the content of that message.
Shouldn't have been anything strange, it was just a simple text message with
my glib question. What's weird is now I have 4 of those mails and 3 different
e-mails from someone(?) or SuSE or Novell...I guess. Look here:
I received one of such "delivery failure" message too, but my mail was
distributed on the list anyway.  IIRC, it gave about the same reason:
"Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname" ... (Cannot check
as I already deleted the message.)

Maybe the list-maintainer is tweaking a virus/spam filter for the list,
and caused some unexpected bounced messages ?
Maybe an invalid email address has somehow entered the subscriber list
(like @mcclure which is not a fully qualified hostname) ?

This, from the FAQ, might help too:
(For more FAQ, send a mail to <suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com> )

Q10. I'm getting weird bounces/autoreplies/vacation messages from
     someone else everytime I post to the list.  Should I ask the
     list if anyone else is getting them and what I should do about
     it?
A10. No.  The other subscribers can't do anything about it and posting
     to the list expecting that the list owner will see it, especially
     on a list this size, is unwise.  Instead, contact ml-admin@suse.com
     and explain what you did in order to receive the bounce/autoresponse/
     vacation message making sure to include the full, unedited headers.
