I have just recently brought up C News on our Xenix 2.3.2 machine.

It works just great with our primary newsfeed, but with our backup
newsfeed, coherent, with whom we have ihave/sendme set up, I keep getting
mail like the following:

---
Date: Thu, 29 Jun 89 00:51:30 PDT
From: coherent!uucp
To: mrspoc!news

uuxqt cmd (rnews ) status (exit 1, signal 0)
---

Here's an excerpt from my errlog file that might help:

sh: /usenet/news/no/such/article!: cannot open
sh: /usenet/news/no/such/article!: cannot open
relaynews: `PATH=/usr/local/lib/news/bin:/usr/local/lib/newsbin/relay:/bin:/usr/bin </usenet/news/no/such/article! mail usenet' returned exit status 0400
relaynews: `PATH=/usr/local/lib/news/bin:/usr/local/lib/newsbin/relay:/bin:/usr/bin </usenet/news/no/such/article! mail usenet' returned exit status 0400

The errlog file is filled with lines such as the above.

Our sys file is as follows:

mrspoc:all::
localstuff:all,!to.coherent.ctl,!to.coheren.ctl,!to.mrspoc.ctl:L:mail usenet
coherent:ba,ca,inet,world,usrgroup,comp,sci,news,rec,misc,na,\
	usa,alt,pubnet,biz,gnu,to.coheren,to.coherent:LF
coherent:ba,ca,inet,world,usrgroup,comp,sci,news,rec,misc,na,\
	usa,alt,pubnet,biz,gnu,to.coheren,to.coherent:IF
ubvax:ba,ca,inet,world,bionet,unix-pc,usrgroup,comp,sci,news,rec,soc,talk,\
	misc,na,usa,alt,pubnet,su,biz,gnu,to.ubvax:L

I've looked at everything I could think of in order to isolate the problem
further...

That is the major problem. The minor problem is that the L flag in the sys
file makes it that I get a copy of anything posted on ubvax (in addition
to everything posted on mrspoc). This is an annoyance and I would *love*
to hear of a solution... I'm only supposed to get copies of posted material
on my local machine, not anything within 1 hop of me.

Help! News gurus...
