I changed it. Leafnode 2 enforces stricter permissions.

Yes. leafnode 2 supports local group and will at some time in the future
support access restrictions to groups, and in order not to have them
circumvented, and because the spool format is not exactly stable, I
enforce access through NNTP and leafnode, forbidding direct spool
access.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
