Strange, as the From: line is mandatory and it is impossible for a
message not to have one. And there is ofcourse no way to switch that off.

AFAIK it's a client misconfiguration. Check the raw article on the
news server, to see if there's a From: header (in /var/spool/news/.....)

Ofcourse, /etc/news/nnrp.access
