That is, I poked around in log files and such trying to remember how the gateway is configured. And the gateway is configured to use an NNTP server provided by our old ISP, which rejects our queries, and has for quite some time now. I spent the afternoon trying to figure this out, but have now essentially run out of time. I've disabled the gateway between news and mail in the hopes that will stem the tide of old messages. Once I figure out a news server that will listen to me, I'll see about rebridging it (although, arguably, a completely different solution may be more appropriate).
