I fixed this, but still get 502 error :/

Yes.. I suspected something like this. This config works in theory tho.

~news/etc/inn.conf, not exactly something that I'm looking for..

these two obviously are not something I need.
immediatecancel:        false
refusecybercancels:     false

verifycancels: from inn.conf man page: true will turn on check on all
cancel messages, to verify if the cancel is from the same person who
originally posted, using headers. But too easy to spoof..

verifycancels:          false

and this one is just to log ctlinnd cancel messages via syslogd...
logcancelcomm:          false 

I just need capabilities for user/class admin to cancel out messages
of abusers, it will be a public standalone server. (not connected to any
other).
