The bug fix that addressed this went into the code on September 14th
this year, so leafnode-2-0-0-alpha20020921a and later have this
particular fix. The current version is
leafnode-2.0.0.alpha20021108b. Find it at the usual place,
http://mandree.home.pages.de/leafnode/beta/

Please, when using leafnode-2, always try to reproduce the problem or
have a look at leafnode-2's ChangeLog[.txt] file (of the current
version, online at the same place) first before reporting a bug if you
can spare the time.

Example ChangeLog excerpt pertaining to your bug, marking the relevant
lines with >: 

> 2002-09-14  Matthias Andree <matthias.andree@xxxxxx>

>       * fetchnews.c: Only delete postings from out.going on successful
>       post if they don't bear an Approved: header.
        * nntpd.c: Also spool postings in out.going that are nonlocal and
        have a moderator and approval. Might be useful for articles
        crossposted to local moderated and upstream unmoderated groups.
        Should not happen though...
>       * fetchnews.c: When an upstream post goes to a moderated group,
>       delete it after the first successful post, to avoid annoying
>       moderators. Reported by Jeff Grossman <jeff@xxxxxxxxxxx>.
        * log_unlink.c: Forge 0 return code when ignore_enoent is set and
        ENOENT is seen.

You're making my life easier that way and may have the answer already
before you've finished asking your question :-)

Thanks for your understanding.
