Mailman error after VERP_CONFIRMATIONS change
I recently had a configuration change made in my mailman software to enable more user friendly subject headers for invitations to email lists on my server. This is the change that was made.
Now, when trying to edit the public HTML pages, all of the lists created prior to the modification are
creating the following error message. Lists created after the change do not appear to be affected
According to this entry in the mailman archives
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg28295.html
and this faq entry
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.011.htp
the problem apppears to be a conflict with cPanel
Is there some sort of fix for this or am I going to have to undo the changes to make the old lists work properly?
Thanks in advance for any help

I recently had a configuration change made in my mailman software to enable more user friendly subject headers for invitations to email lists on my server. This is the change that was made.
Code:
# For nicer confirmation emails, use a VERP-like format which encodes the
# confirmation cookie in the reply address. This lets us put a more user
# friendly Subject: on the message, but requires cooperation from the MTA.
# Format is like VERP_FORMAT above, but with the following substitutions:
#
# %(confirm)s -- the list-confirm mailbox will be set here
# %(cookie)s -- the confirmation cookie will be set here
VERP_CONFIRM_FORMAT = '%(addr)s+%(cookie)s'
# This is analogous to VERP_REGEXP, but for splitting apart the
# VERP_CONFIRM_FORMAT.
VERP_CONFIRM_REGEXP = r'^(?P<addr>[^+]+?)\+(?P<cookie>[^@]+)@.*$'
This line was
# Set this to Yes to enable VERP-like (more user friendly) confirmations
VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = No
changed to this
VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = yesNow, when trying to edit the public HTML pages, all of the lists created prior to the modification are
creating the following error message. Lists created after the change do not appear to be affected
