In qmail-to-mailman-py replace the line that says:

  local = re.sub("^mailman-","",local)

with:

  user = os.environ["USER"]
  local = re.sub("^" + user + "-","",local)

Also keep in mind that qmail and vpopmail run under different uids
normally which can cause some problems (not sure how the FreeBSD ports
handle this). I've found that using the qmail users/assign file a better
solution for pure mailing list vhosts than vpopmail.
