This message is written by Perl.
AFAIK the only Perl script run by news.daily is innreport.

Innreport can generate output in plain text or HTML.
Which one are you looking at?
Do you see the copyright notice at the end of the HTML, i.e. did innreport
finish or did it abort?

The perl RE used by innreport_inn.pm for this is
     ^rejecting\[perl\] <[^>]+> \d+ (.*)
So
     grep 'innd: rejecting\[perl\] <[^>]\{1,\}> [0-9]\{1,\}' /var/log/news/news.notice | head
should give you reasonable output.

If that's the case and you don't get section "INND Perl filter [Top 100]:"
in the innreport there is either some bug (in innreport or innreport_inn.pm)
or you configuration has switched that off.

Do you have a "section innd_perl" in /etc/news/innreport.conf?

What's the setting for "nnrpdoverstats" in /etc/news/inn.conf?
