Hi, ok first spool[1] is 'spool2, diskspace2' in your config file (just to
confuse you) so dnews is telling you there is 161mb left of whatever you've
told it
diskspace2 is.
Does that then add up?
The other possible area for error is dnews counts a MB as 1000,000 bytes,
rather than 1024^2, you may simply need to increase
your 'diskspace' setting a bit to make dnews use more space.
