You return 301 redirect here for all non-existing files. If you
want to return 404, try something like this instead:

map $uri $redirected {
default "";
include /path/to/list;
}

error_page 404 = /404.html;

location / {
try_files $uri = @redirect;
}

location @redirect {
if ($redirected) {
rewrite ^ $redirected premanent;
}

return 404;
}
