Do you know how inews is invoked?  and from whom is the error e-mail, as 
well as its subject? (news administrator?  error log?)

This error message is currently generated by inews when receiving a 
response code different than "Post OK".  inews then logs this message as 
an error and dies.
There's probably something to improve here.
