Thanks, I changed it back.

I also had to put:

hostname = CPE-124-177-227-100.sa.bigpond.net.au

rather than have the FQDN in /etc/hosts as exim4 was fouling up with the 
  FQDN in /etc/hosts.

I am getting messages like this:

Sep 25 12:09:46 localhost fetchnews[2729]: news-server.bigpond.net.au: 
postarticles: file 1883-1159151937-1: only_groups_pcre excluded or 
server does not carry newsgroups gmane.test

The article in question does get posted, but I'd rather that gmane* 
postings were only sent to news.gmane.org and weren't attempted to be 
sent to news-server.bigpond.net.au.

My present /etc/news/leafnode/config is:

expire = 15

server = news-server.bigpond.net.au
initialfetch = 1000
groupexpire comp.risks = 365
server = news.gmane.org
initialfetch = 1000
only_groups_pcre = gmane\.
server = news.mozilla.org
initialfetch = 1000
only_groups_pcre = mozilla\.
nodesc = 1

maxcrosspost = 5

maxage = 180

filterfile = /etc/news/leafnode/filters

article_despite_filter = 1

hostname = CPE-124-177-227-100.sa.bigpond.net.au

# end of config
