I think the issue is that CPanel sort of takes over your machine and
handles all the major configuration and it does not support VERP
configurations. I've never used CPanel so I don't know the specifics,
but I believe that's the issue.

Unless I am missing something here, why don't you just enable verp in
your MTA? Postfix, Sendmail, Exim, and Qmail all support it. What's

This is not the point here, J.C.
The important point is the fact that mailman did introduce a new way
of
handling bounces without a way to opt-out of this new way. Normally
every
software package that introduces a new way of doing a certain task
(opposed
to a complete new functionality) there is an option to opt-out and
continue
"the old way" until all proper changes have been done.
Take cPanel for example, they have still not gotten around to make the
proper adjustments to their highly complex environment and they are
used
hundreds of thousands of times around the world by web hosting
companies.
Right now people are unsubscribed because of this all over the place
for no
apparent reason (from the view of the user). The only way to not end
up in
trouble in this environment is to turn off bounce handling completely
in
mailman 2.1.5
So looking at this, do you still think it was wise to introduce VERP
bounce
probes by default and by force with no choice?

Which is decidedly NOT encouraged by this snippet from Barry's 2.1.5
announcement:
This version also contains a fix for an exploit that
could allow 3rd
parties to retrieve member passwords. It is thus highly
recommended
that all existing sites upgrade to the latest version.
Yup, of such hard choices are upgrades made.
Of course Mailman passwords are also not the most significant things
in
the computing universe.
