No.  Your uux is not returning errors on the news batches they're
sending to you.  Uux doesn't run on those batches.  Uux is for
the news and mail you're sending *to them*.

Uuxqt is the program that runs on the news and mail they send to you.

Your very first stop is your uuxqt log files for that site.  They will
show the rejection and very likely the reason.

Here is the UUCP Problem Mantra.  Repeat it ten times:

    Always, Always, Always, Always,
    What do your log files say?
