Ahhh, the beauty of control panels. :)

There is a script included with mailman called fix_url.py.  If you run
it without any arguments, it will give you usage instructions.  This
script is in the bin dir of the mailman install, which, if I recall
correctly, is something like /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman in
cpanel.

If you don't have shell access to the server, you'll need to ask
someone that does to do this for you.  You/they may find it helpful to
search the archives and FAQ for this list if the usage instructions
from fix_url.py aren't clear enough or don't work as expected.

One wrinkle that you may run into is that cpanel modifies mailman to
append the domain name to the list directory.  I'm not sure if that'll
affect the fix_url.py script or not.  If it doesn't work as the usage
examples show, the script might need patched.  I moved some lists from
one cpanel system to another a few years ago and I can't recall if
that was a problem or not.  I believe I had to manually change some
variables in the config.pck files.  I try to put any experiences I
have with cpanel behind me as quickly as possible.  Sorry for the hazy
and vague recollections. :)

Do take note of FAQ 6.11, Mailman and CPanel:
