The only time I have seen this message is when the server truly is out
of space.  When there is no room left on a filesystem, the daemon
throttles input.  Check 'df' and see.  Also, did you newfs the drive
with the recommended parameters?  There are different settings for
block size when the drive is to be used for news.  It allows it to
handle more files.  Check the BSDI book for the recommended parm's.

news.daily, by default, is in /usr/contrib/lib/news/bin.  Check your
/etc/crontab file, it should have the location listed there.
