Thanks! That sure solved the problem.

Of course, new problems arose.

When posting by hand through telnet ip:119, it says 
snntpd:POST:Posted to test.patrick
240 Posted to test.patrick   

This message makes my newsreaders (Free Agent, XNews) puke. I #ed the line 'echo "Posted to $postable"' in POST and now it works fine.

So, sn seems to work like a charm now. Next task is finding a very simple newsreader for our organisation.

cheers and thanks for the help
