It means your email provider (specifically, the mail server for
mac.com) rejected an email from the gcc-help mailing list, because it
violated the mail server's policies (see the last line, which shows
the error that the gcc.gnu.org mail server got from the mac.com mail
server).

That usually happens because somebody sent spam to the gcc list, which
got forwarded to every subscriber, but your mail provider flagged it
as spam and refused to accept it. The gcc.gnu.org mail server sends
you the notification that it tried and failed to deliver a message to
you.
