with
  550 Mail rejected by mailing-list(_at_)example(_dot_)org
which implies, that the mail was accepted by all but 
mailing-list(_at_)example(_dot_)org?

The 550 code means that mail to the above-mentioned recipients (spamtrap(_at_)example(_dot_)org and mailing-list(_at_)example(_dot_)org was rejected for policy reasons. A DSN may be sent by server.example.com to both recipients. The recipients may not see your reject message or they may not understand it.
