One small thing that may need attention in your C News configuration after
putting in the latest patches...  Inews now objects to articles whose size
exceeds 63KB.  This can foul up heavy ihave/sendme feeds, which try to
send long lists of articles as postings.  However, all is not lost, since
the batcher also changed to estimate sizes of ihave/sendme batches more or
less correctly.  All you need to do is adjust the batch sizes of the
ihave/sendme entries in your batchparms file to a more realistic number,
say 40000.  (The next patch will change this in the sample batchparms file.)
