I don't know why, but it's pretty clear in CURRENT from tradspool_init():

    if (!innconf->storeonxref) {
        syslog(L_ERROR, "tradspool: storeonxref needs to be true");
        SMseterror(SMERR_INTERNAL, "storeonxref needs to be true");
        return FALSE;
    }

I've always had storeonxref on, and the CURRENT nnrpd works for me.

I don't know anything about the changes to history, though, I'm just
looking at the source.

Uh.  I'm not exactly a storeonxref expert, but I don't think you should.
But maybe...anybody know?
