Ah, this explains it all, thanks for reporting it. So the discussion@ list was mistakenly configured with the same bounce settings that we use for our press-release* lists (which, due to different traffic conditions, need the "extreme" values you noticed above).
It was very likely my fault, since I remember changing these parameters for some lists a long time ago; I'm going to check the other lists for possible misconfigurations.
