To find the real cause you need to capture the conversation with
the upstream server, do this:
tellnews loglvl debug
tellnews debug chan_read:chan_write:suck:
tellnews rotate
tellnews updateone problem.news.group
Wait 2 minutes, then grab dnews.log and find the sucking attempt, send it
to us if you can't figure out what it means. Better send your dnews.conf too.
