Testing and debugging posting facilities is covered in the INN FAQ
that I just posted.  I don't directly cover the problem you mentioned,
but reading the FAQ might give you some hints

What does the path line of the posted message say?  (use "inews -h -D")

Quote------------------------------------

Look at the posted message in the news spool (if you post a message to
nj.test, "cd /var/spool/news/nj/test" and cat the highest numbered file
you see).  If your site name is listed multiple times in the "Path:"
header, put your server's name on the "pathhost:" line of
"inn.conf" and recompile INN with "INEWS_PATH" set to
"DONT".  (I don't know why that isn't the default!)
