Easiest way is to stop qmail-smtmd (to prevent messages arriving) or stop qmail-send (to prevent messages already in the queue from being delivered) or both. Then do your changeover and restart the service(s). While you have qmail-smtpd down, you can put '|bouncesaying "Use [email protected] mailing list instead"' in ~alias/.qmail-mygroup if you like. If you don't want to stop services, you can create the mailing list then simply replace this .qmail file atomically, which will accomplish the same thing.
