inews.c patch

[Matus "fantomas" Uhlar]

Hello,

inews default post to localhost, port 119 (hardcoded).

this little patch changes it a little:

inews posts to port defined in inn.conf;
If there's nntpposthost defined, innd connects exactly to it. and its port.

another idea: port for posting could be detected (always) from

1. innconf->nnrpdpostport
2. innconf->port
3. NNTP_PORT

independant on other settings (of course when posting through unix domain
socket,m the port wouldn't bbe used)

...comments ?
