qmail-smtpd does not do any header rewriting. defaulthost only affects mail
injected via qmail-inject. If you want to rewrite SMTP mail, you will have
to install DJB's mes822 package, which comes with ofmipd, which you can use
for rewriting. ofmipd is like and SMTP server, but allows rewriting. You
could run it on say port 26 of the qmail machine and make your netscape
server route all outgoing mail to that port.

Put lists.mydomain in the control/locals file, and all list mail will be
handled by the qmail mailhub. You don't need to modify smtproutes.
