See the FAQ article at <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030540>. Mailman
doesn't do well with lists that have both individuals and lists as
members (I suspect that is the case here). The main reason for this is
if you declare the parent list as an umbrella list, the individual
members can't get password reminders, but if you don't, anyone can
request a password reminder for the child list and it will be sent to
that list. You can use header filter rules on the child list to discard
password reminders, but that's another step.

Then there is your issue to contend with which would seem to preclude
having a list as a member of another list because of the way your
outgoing mail service handles this. Note that the Delivered-To: headers
are added by your incoming MTA upon delivery the the parent and then
again upon delivery to the child. Mailman has no setting to strip those,
but you could implement a custom handler to do this if it's your Mailman
server. See <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030615> for info on custom handlers.

If you aren't concerned about digest members of listZ You can use
regular_include_lists to include, e.g. the non-digest members of listZ
in posts to listA by including l...@example.com in the
regular_include_lists setting of listA, and likewise for listB et al.

This, along with some caveats is discussed in the FAQ at
<https://wiki.list.org/x/4030540>.
