When posting via Pnews to a non-existent newsgroup in the past, it would
complain that "Newsgroup xxx does not exist!".  However, since we upgraded
our server to run NNTP 1.5.11 and Cnews, this is no longer the case.  Now,
the article simply appears in /usr/spool/news/dead.article on the server
with no error reported to the user.

Does anyone of of a fix?

Thanks,
