Have you looked in the specs for your machine name and the domain 
name that it's hiding behind? Don't quote me on this, but f you put
newshub.ccs.yorku.ca in for both the machine and domain name, you may 
get the problem you describe.

I'd check the /usr/lib/news/whoami file to see if there's something 
strange in there, as well as anything else that could have the machine or
user name in it. (mailpaths maybe?)
