This is answered on Matthias Andree's page
http://www-dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de/~ma/leafnode/ , and I believe in
the README included with 1.9.24:

INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: Leafnode will only look at articles in out.going
when they have the "u+x" (0100) permission flag set. If you have
articles in out.going when you update to 1.9.23, do chmod u+x
/var/spool/news/out.going/*, otherwise, they will lie around forever and
never be posted. 

You probably want to upgrade to 1.9.27 while you are there.
