[news.admin] Problems after 2.11.19 + nntp-1.5.9 install...help !

adam@hyper.lap.upenn.edu (Adam Feigin) (07/30/90)

I just got finished installing the latest 2.11.19 and nntp-1.5.9, and something
is very wrong...

1) All my article counts are screwed up in rn, there's over 1 million unread 
 articles in some groups !

2) I have several hundred files in the form of /var/spool/news/.tmp/rpostXXXX
  and the number keeps getting larger

3) I'm getting lots of mailer-daemon messages with the header as follows

Connected to uunet.uu.net:
>>> RCPT To:<comp-sys-mac-misc@uunet.uu.net>
<<< 550 <comp-sys-mac-misc@uunet.uu.net>... User unknown
550 uunet.uu.net!comp-sys-mac-misc... User unknown

and of course, they contain news articles. I basically looked at our old
configuration file from the last time nntp was installed, and changed conf.h
accordingly...

4) Finally (I think), nntp is rejecting all articles from my feed(s)

nntpxmit: 50 offered 0 accepted 50 rejected 0 failed


I think I've overlooked something pretty simple, since all this worked before.
But it is causing major havoc....

Any help is much appreciated (even RTFM, which I've done, several times!)
