It's running on my box.

The problem is that my ISP just seemed to change NNTP servers, and as a 
result the news posting msg ID sequence got changed. The gateway then 
decided that it didn;t need to send stuff because it had already sent 
that id.

I'd love to pass this baton on to someone who has a less flaky news 
server. Any offers?
