See <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/faqs/inn.html#4.1>:
Subject: 4.1. innd: SERVER cant store article
You probably have a misconfigured storage.conf. In current versions of
INN, including 2.2.1, "no matching entry in storage.conf" is added to the
end of this message unless it really is a disk I/O problem, making the
cause considerably clearer.
storage.conf(5) has this to say:
If an article doesn't match any entry, either by being posted to a
newsgroup that doesn't match any of the <wildmat> patterns or by being
outside the size and expires ranges of all entries whose newsgroups
pattern it does match, the article is not stored and is rejected by
innd(8). When this happens, the error message
cant store article: no matching entry in storage.conf
is logged to syslog. If you want to silently drop articles matching
certain newsgroup patterns or size or expires ranges, assign them to the
"trash" storage method rather than having them not match any storage
method entry.
One of the more frequent causes of this problem is misuse of the expires
key in storage.conf entries. Read the man page for storage.conf very
carefully if you're using the expires key, since it may not do what you
think it does. In particular, if you have a storage class that specifies
expires with a min-time greater than 0, it won't match any article without
an Expires header (the vast majority of Usenet articles).
