It appears that the list's 'owner' address is
<postmaster at lists.photoblogverona.com>. Can you successfully mail
directly to that address or to whatever address is listed as the list's
owner (note that this should be a fully qualified address, e.g.
'postmaster at photoblogverona.com', not just 'postmaster')? If not, this
is not a Mailman issue at all.

If you can mail directly to that address, then the issue may be the way
mail is delivered to -owner. The MTA will first deliver the mail by
piping it to Mailman's mail wrapper for the list -owner. This will
probably result in a

Delivered-To: mailman-owner at lists.photoblogverona.com

being header added then Mailman will resend the mail to the actual
'owner' address. It is possible, but not likely that qmail is confused
by the already added Delivered-To: header. If so, this looks like a
qmail bug.

They are more likely to be able to help as this is probably a qmail issue.
