I think a better choice would be to leave 
require_explicit_destination at True and to add the old list address 
to acceptable_aliases under Privacy Options-> Recipient Filters.

That way you still get the functionality of 
holding/rejecting/discarding those messages without the list address 
in the to: or cc: fields while still passing messages sent to the old address.
