As the news user, try sending yourself mail with something like:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -oem address at example.com
From: address at example.com
Subject: testing
testing
<Ctrl-D>
pressing <Ctrl-D> to end the message. That will pick up any problems with
sendmail accepting mail from the news user and rule that out as a
potential problem.
Also run echo $? afterwards, even if it appeared to work, to make sure of
the exit status.
