Is there a problem with the setup of this mailing list?

This is one of the fundamental problems with SPF. I suspect that you'll see the same issue with emails from me. I don't think it is the responsibility of the list to resolve it; either the sender needs a more relaxed SPF rule, or the recipient needs more relaxed checking.
I don't agree. Isn't there a proper solution for this? -- Olaf
