Hmm... Was late 2017 about when Lars (the guy behind gmane) had his 
crisis and the gmane web side, and almost the news side, shut down?  
There were a number of changes when that happened, and it could well be 
that when he did the new setup, he didn't setup reverse-dns, while 
reverse-dns was setup properly, previously.  

It could also be that likely due to one or more of the lists on that 
listserv (not necessarily that specific list) suffering a spam attack, 
the listmasters tightened the anti-spam rules.

A less likely possibility is that you were actually using a different 
email address back then, and had perhaps subscribed to the list, put it 
in vacation mode, and then forgot about it.  Then when you changed email 
addresses, the new one wasn't subscribed and ran afoul of a policy that 
didn't apply to the first address because the first one was subscribed 
and you'd just forgotten about it.  Of course that's why this possibility 
is less likely, because you'd probably have remembered switching 
addresses and considered that as a possible cause, even if you didn't 
remember subscribing to the list with the first address.  But I could 
imagine it happening to me in one of my (thankfully rare) email address 
switches.
