rn produces this message when a newsgroup listed in your .newsrc
has disappeared from the netnews active file (there are other
possibilities if you're using rrn).  You can no longer read the
group because it "no longer exists" _at your site_.  In any case
you want to take the matter up with your local news administrator
--there's nothing we can do about it.

BTW, you need to bug your news administrator anyway--there's an
extraneous .UUCP on your Reply-To: address, making it difficult
to reply directly to your postings.
