Okay, so your qmail setup is currently delivering mail intended for the
news user directly to that user, and you've configured qmail to have a
default delivery of maildir.  But the news user doesn't have a maildir.
So mail deliveries are failing.

You need to do one of two things:  Either you need to create a maildir in
the news account that mail can be delivered to and read it directly from
the news account, or (probably better) you need to put a .qmail file in
the news account's home directory specifying where mail intended for that
user should be forwarded.
