This is covered in the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/gIA9>.

You need to congigure the MX MTA for foo.org with aliases or whatever
to forward l...@foo.org mail to l...@bar.org for each list.

In mailman, you probably want to set l...@foo.org in Privacy options...
-> Recipient filters -> acceptable_aliases for each l...@bar.org list,
although this isn't strictly necessary because current code will
accept l...@foo.org as an explicit destination for l...@bar.org for
backwards compatibility reasons.
