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 LIST at foo.org mail to LIST at bar.org for each list.

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