I'm trying to gateway a mailing list into a newsgroup, and am having a
few problems.  Every once in a while an article comes along that inews
doesn't want to post.  Originally I got this error:

    [volumous output of 'who am i'; summary: not attched to terminal]
    anne.jones: ypmatch: not found
    inews: article in /tmp/dead.article

I thought that the ypmatch (whatever that is; it certainly isn't
anywhere on my SCO Xenix system  :-() was the problem.  So I created a
.name file with a space in it in the home directory of the program
that was doing the posting.  That got rid of the ypmatch problem, but
inews still tells the that the article is in /tmp/dead.article (and I
still have the 'who' problem).

This is the article header, as it is fed to inews (with the -h option,
of course):

So, does anybody have any suggestions?
