I'm guessing, because you don't say, that the messages are held for
"implicit destination". See Recipient filters for listB and either
turn off require_explicit_destination or add listA's address to
acceptable_aliases.

Also, adding listA at domain.com to accept_these_nonmembers is probably
not effective (unless listA is anonymous). If the poster is in
accept_these_nonmembers, that's probably enough, otherwise you may
have to add listA-bounces at domain.com to accept_these_nonmembers and
either set USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER = Yes in mm_cfg.py or subscribe
listA-bounces at domain.com to listB with delivery disabled.

There is also a patch at
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1220144&group_id=103&atid=300103>
that would allow putting '@listA' in listB's accept_these_nonmembers
to allow all members of ListA to post to listB if that is desired.
