Since "listar" is a normal user (step 2), qmail will by default look in
~listar/.qmail for delivery instructions, not in ~alias/.qmail-listar.
Since there is no ~listar/.qmail file, then qmail attempts to use the
default delivery instructions, IOW, to deliver into ~/Maildir. That
directory does not exist, so it defers.
You should also be aware of /var/qmail/users/assign, which is consulted
before ~listar/.qmail. The e-smith framework users /var/qmail/users/assign
to manage virtual domains. You could use a template fragment for
/var/qmail/users/assign to direct qmail to use ~alias/.qmail-listar for
listar's delivery instructions.

Why don't you try ezmlm instead? There is a working contrib module for
installing and running ezmlm on your system. it's a little crude, but
you'd be more than welcome to fancy it up a bit.
Or keep going with listar, if that's what you really need.
