Hello,
The only reason I am posting an INN question here is because I did not 
get an answer on news.software.nntp, and the answers I get here are of a 
good quality!

I have the Suck program feeding my INN news server.
In general INN and Suck work very well, and INN is extremely well behaved 
on my system, once I fugured out it's idiosyncrasies, with a little help.

I can read news that is populating the database, and post news, but if my 
post has a X-post in it, I get the following error that stops any further 
posting:

(the post that broke this had 2 Linux newsgroup X-posts)

Can someone explain why this happens and how to fix it?
I am getting desparate now, as I have to remove the offending article to 
let my regular posts get through...

thanks!

Rachel
