Hi Chris,

> I'm having a problem with getting my mail2news working.

Well, I run inn 2.3.5 with mta postfix 2.x.

My /etc/postfix/aliases looks like:
mail2newsnewsgroupname:	"|/usr/local/news/bin/mail2news.pl newsgroup.name"

A snippet of /usr/local/news/bin/mail2news.pl:
$news_poster_program = "/usr/local/news/bin/rnews";
$news_poster_options = "-r localhost";
$postinghost = "localhost";

Make sure newsgroup.name is configured correctly (in active-file, not
moderated, etc).

I assume your INN runs properly and nntp-clients can post the way they
should.

Hth.
