Article rejected: 441 New Users Start Here: http://www.lugnet.com/news/post/

So, any clue what's causing the rejection?

Here's what seems to have been sent by slrn:

X-Nntp-Posting-Host: jadzia.bu.edu
From: mattdm@mattdm.org
Newsgroups: lugnet.admin.general
Subject: cancel <slrn7vl20v.ipg.mattdm@jadzia.bu.edu>
Control: cancel <slrn7vl20v.ipg.mattdm@jadzia.bu.edu>

ignore
Article canceled by slrn 0.9.5.6
====================end========================

What it (the server) doesn't like is the 'From:' header that doesn't match
your regular 'From:' header:

IOW, it's missing your name...
