You need to add to dnews.conf
post_route true
Without this setting dnews won't send a posting to a posting feed, it's
a safety mechanism to prevent un-intentional loops through posting
feeds, you must in this case set your exclude and group settings correctly
to prevent dnews having to send everything to this other server via
the posting mechanism.
