See

If you don't want to actually rename listA to listB, but just, as you
say, have mail to listB wind up at listA, this is mostly an MTA
question, not a Mailman question, but assuming your MTA uses aliases
of the form

lista at example.com:        "|/path/to/mail/mailman post lista"
lista-admin at example.com:  "|/path/to/mail/mailman admin lista"
etc.

just make a second set like

listb at example.com:        "|/path/to/mail/mailman post lista"
listb-admin at example.com:  "|/path/to/mail/mailman admin lista"
etc.

and add listb at example.com to lista's Privacy options...->Recipient
filters->acceptable_aliases.

Depending on your MTA and its configuration, there are probably other
ways to do this, but what you have to do is make mail to a listb...
address be finally delivered in exactly the same way as mail to the
corresponding lista.. address.
