You need to arrange aliases or whatever qmail uses to route mail to
Mailman so that mail to mailman(-*)@... gets routed to the mailman
list regardless of which domain it is sent to.

This is by design. Password reminders are sent from the site list
because the particular user may be a member of more than one list, in
which case, sending the reminder from the list would require a
reminder per list. In the current implementation, the reminder is sent
once per site/virtual-host for all lists that include that member.

If you are using virtual hosts, the sitelist name refers to the one
site list, but depending on context, the domain associated with the
site list can be any of the virtual host email domains. Thus they all
have to be deliverable.

I understand this is how qmail does routing, but this routes bounces
for the 'manskor' list. Do you have similar routing for all the
addresses of the mailman (site) list. I.e. .qmail-mailman,
.qmail-mailman-bounces, etc., and if so, they have to be made to apply
to all domains that mailman serves.
