Absolutely. The subject "RE: Your confirmation is required to join the
some-internal-list mailing list"

Says you have "VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = Yes" in mm_cfg.py which produces
that subject in the confirmation e-mail and a From: address of the form

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<cookie>

Outlook/exchange is dropping/munging the "+<cookie>" part of the
address in the reply.

You can remove "VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = Yes" from mm_cfg.py which will
make the confirmation be

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

with

Subject: confirm <cookie>

This format may work with outlook/exchange. You also may be able to
configure exchange to preserve the "+<cookie>" part of the address in
the reply.
