I have two more questions. The error says the article will be spooled. 
Do you know where? And if so, how to unspool them?

The mail server is not spooling them, because the procmail script that 
processes the mail completed successfully (by issuing the mailpost 
command). These errors don't show up in the procmail log. I think the 
news server is spooling them, somehow. I DO know that the email account 
I am using for this is not holding on to them. It's mail spool is empty.

Any thoughts?
