(As for your previous post, I guess your mailpost connection was coming 
in on the 10.* interface rather than on the loopback 127.0.0.1 
interface, and thus the "localhost" didn't actually apply to it.)

My guess was going to be $pathincoming from inn.conf, although looking 
at the inews manpage it actually suggests that the dead.article file of 
the user that mailpost runs as may be the location.

If it is $pathincoming, then `rnews -U` is what you're looking for.
