I just want to re-emphasize the importance of the README.QMAIL file, it's only user notes, but those are important notes you need to understand to get mailman working. I'm running the same config (qmail/vpopmail) using lists.mydomain.tld. Some quick tips from me aside from the user notes in the above mentioned readme: Let me jump on the first thing that comes to mind with your described problem. Make sure you have the mailman user's maildir setup (and make sure it's in the mailman user's home directory, which may be setup elsewhere from /home/mailman, like /usr/local/mailman). I'm not actually sure if you need the maildir setup, but it's just good practice. Then if your going the same (easier) route I did setting up mailing lists, make sure you have your .qmail-default file in the mailman home directory with "|/usr/bin/python /usr/local/mailman/bin/qmail-to-mailman.py" (or where ever you installed mailman). That's all assuming your not doing mailing list aliases manually per list. I highly suggest you take advantage of the qmail-to-mailman.py script. Continuing on, make sure qmail knows where to send emails going to lists.yourdomain.tld by adding "lists.yourdomain.tld:mailman" in the qmail virtualdomains file (if this isn't setup right, and rcpthosts is, that could be the cause of keeping an email in the queue since it doesn't know where to put it). Make sure you have lists.yourdomain.tld in the rcpthosts file for qmail. From your description, it sounds like this is already done. Last, but not least, if your still having problems, take a look at your qmail logs for any description of what problems may be in the way.
