I use qmail and Mailboxer together for a couple zope-based sites. The 
first problem I had when setting this up was placing the location of the 
smtp2zope.py script that comes with Mailboxer. Depending on the system 
architecture, the user under which zope runs, and the security policies 
of the system, this script may need to be placed in an 
other-than-documented location.

That being said, on my redhat 7.3 production box running a brand-new 
qmail, everything worked in the default locations. the next crucial 
thing is to look at the piped command that is placed in the .qmail(-*) 
file. I use qmail virtual domains for apache virtual hosts, so this was 
a little more involved for me. I have documentation for it up on the 
zope.org site (check http://zope.org/Members/adytumsolutions).

I can help you more if you send me the contents of whatever .qmail file 
has the piped command (the one that references the smtp2zope.py script). 
I will also need the full ZMI path to your mailboxer list instance.

As for adding multiple users, there is a field under the mailboxer list 
instance "properties" tab that is called "maillist" (maybe it's got a 
new name in new versions?) and is of type "lines" -- this is where you 
add subscribers, one per line.

Let me know if you have any troubles. Also, the guy that wrote it is 
very cool and quite resposive; if my answers are not helpful, consider 
his expertise.
