I can answer this one. Yes, something is wrong in your setup. Check the
raw articles and see what the remote site puts in the Path: header.
You should add this as an alias to (or as the name of) the entry for
your provider in /etc/news/newsfeeds.
For example, I get my news at home with UUCP. The name of the UUCP
site is alphen, but the news server puts "news.cistron.nl" in the
header. So the entry for "alphen" looks like this:
alphen/news.cistron.nl:*,!junk/!local:Tf,Wnm:
