- Remove the domain from 'virtualdomains' for it only being in
  'rcpthosts'.
- HUP qmail-send.
- DONE, if your server (mail.mymailserver.com) is able to figure out the
  MX record for 'domain-owner.com' as 'mail.domain-owner.com'.
  If not: 
  echo 'domain-owner.com:mail.domain-owner.com' \
   >>/var/qmail/control/smtproutes

P.S.: For future mails to this list you really should disable "Reply-To".
      1.) It's superfluous. It contains the same address as "From" and
          therefore is absolutely useless.
      2.) It makes it impossible to easily reply to the list for those MUAs
          capable of List-Reply by evaluating 'List-Post' header.
          'Reply-To' takes, for obvious reasons, precedence over
          'List-Post'.
 Thank you.
