Anastasios,

be sure to use the Mandriva security updates to get bugfixed leafnode
versions. For details, please see their advisory:
<http://www.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2005:114>

Then, check the hostname setting of your computer, if it has a
fully-qualified host name, that is OK. See one of the README-FQDN*
documents (same content, different formats) for details.

If that doesn't help, please adjust your syslog.conf (see README),
signal syslogd, then run fetchnews -Pvv and see if any errors appear in
the log.

HTH,
