To you need to change only some URLs or can you change all?  The proper
way to change all urls is to change DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN in mm_cfg.py
and then run fix_url on all lists. See
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?query=default_url_pattern&querytype=simple&casefold=yes&req=search>.

First, never edit files in /usr/local/mailman/templates/en. See
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.048.htp>
for the way to create edited versions of templates to apply sitewide
or to a particular domain or list.

Your change doesn't work because the replacement dictionary for this
template contains an entry for 'confirmurl', but it doesn't contain an
entry for 'cookie'.

Fix it by putting something like

DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'https://igc.infragard.org/http/%s:8080/mailman/'

in mm_cfg.py and running fix_url on the lists.

If you can't do that, you'll have to modify code, in this case by
adding something like

        d['cookie'] = cookie

to the appropriate place in the hold_for_approval function in
Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py.
