Where is the mailman config file located on cPanel? Also, how can I update a mm_cfg variable and not have it overwritten every time cPanel updates? I need the mailman roster to display realnames. Every time that cPanel updates I have to go in and update 3rdparty/mailman/Mailman/HTMLFormatter.py to make it work. All that I have to do is set mm_cfg.ROSTER_DISPLAY_REALNAME to 1 but every time cPanel updates it changes it back.

  Hey there! Can you try editing the /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py file directly instead of the main python file? That's the official Mailman recommendation to make those types of changes, which can be found here:

  You can always try running a "/scripts/upcp --force" to force an update on the machine instead of waiting for the nightly update. I tried that on my end just now and the file does get touched during the update, but the entries I placed under the "# Put YOUR site-specific settings below this line." section were maintained.
