Thanks Greg.

But the user IS subscribed to the mailing-list, I'm an admin there, I checked. He had similar issues when registering via email, had to register via HTML.
He is also getting the mailing-list emails nabble sends to the list for everyone else's posts on the nabble forum.
But when he posts on the forum, his message is rejected.

It is rejected due to SPF. What is unclear is whether the SPF DNS records need to be added to mbob.nabble.com, or lists.openscad.org.

The error:
""<[e-mail]>: host lists.openscad.org[192.151.138.16] said: 550
    SPF: 162.253.133.15 is not allowed to send mail from gmx.net (in reply to
    RCPT TO command)"
(162.253.133.15 is mbob.nabble.com) says mbob is not allowed to spoof gmx.net so I'm guessing it may need to be nabble's DNS.

There is a similar support entry on SPF about apache.org here which also highlights past issues with gmx.
It says apache said "Now what Nabble needs to do for us is to rewrite those addresses using SRS, which ezmlm supports."

My, in-expert, view is that nabble needs SPF/SRS.
