fetchnews only tries to post articles if it receives a 200
(posting ok) reply code when it connects. If the server says 201
(no posting) fetchnews doesn't try. Check this out by doing

telnet your.news.server 119

Which version of leafnode do you run? What are the permissions of
the files in /var/spool/news? If that still doesn't help generate
a debug log (debugmode=1 for leafnode-1.9.x debugmode=2 for
leafnode-2.0bx).
