Well, that's just it. There are no errors reported in the inn2 logs.
My errlog and news.err files are always empty and news file just
has normal entries for input actually posted.
I've always assumed that the mailagent errors were the result of
an actual inn2 post that was rejected and never understood why
error logging wasn't happening, but maybe it is all internal to
mailagent and the article is never attempted to be posted at all.
I'll try to track this posting action down in the source code and see
just what is going on.

Great idea.
Thank you both for the excellent feedback. I'll dig deeper and see
what else I can discover.
