OK.

Just make sure that the format of the messages is usable. What does
that mean? DenyHosts (DH) expects a certain syntax, the message should
contain IP and optionally user name. DH can be configured to use just
about any message form, but you may have to do a custom configuration
for your system.

No, you are reading the messages wrong. Look at the part that says
"most recent call last", the last line is the important one, mail
configuration has nothing to do with the problem.
It's not easy to follow those messages, but it is complaining about
something in regex.py, which has "SSHD_FORMAT_REGEX = re.compile(r""".*
(sshd.*:|\[sshd\]) (?P<message>.*)""")" and that is not an error,
something is wrong with your installation.
Does the "?P&" appear anywhere in your DH's files? It's not on original
files. I'm looking at the error message and I don't see how
"(?P<message>.*)" turned into "?P&", that is strange.
