Guy,

please provide us with the output of "leafnode-version" (be sure to use
1.11.8 if using 1.X), and a snippet of your configuration (weed out
usernames and passwords).

Does it work if you change maxage back to the old value?

Can you run such a fetchnews command with debugmode set to 1 (in the
configuration file, just add debugmode = 1 if missing) and then check
the logs? (You may need to adjust syslog configuration as described in
README (look for TROUBLESHOOTING).  Be sure to set debugmode = 0 after
capturing one log.  debugmodes > 0 are too chatty for normal operation.

Typically this would be a hint that there's not maxage, but some
maxfetch parameter at work, or possibly of problems other problems.

Other than that, no ideas yet due to lack of information.
