Sorry about the slow response; my mailbox has gotten somewhat clogged of late.

I think you've got some sort of problem with the sys-file line with
turnkey.ihave/togo in it.  It should be excluding both sendmes and
ihaves from that batch file.  Just out of paranoia... I note you've
split it into two with a backslash... there wouldn't by any chance be
some white space after that backslash, would there?  Relaynews is, in
most cases, quite intolerant of extraneous white space, and isn't good
at diagnosing the problem.  Try making that line all one (long) line,
and see if that cures it.

Otherwise the sys file looks okay.  We have an ihave/sendme test feed
between utstat and utzoo as an ongoing test of ihave/sendme, and it
is working fine.
