Bug#831554: cyrus-nntpd-2.4: nntp not working, regression of #734648?

[Ulrich Eckhardt]

Package: cyrus-nntpd-2.4
Version: 2.4.17+nocaldav-0~deb8u1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

I have upgraded my server to from Debian 7 to Debian 8.
After this upgrade it is not possible anymore to feed news into
my imap spool. In the logs I get the following output from fetchnews:
cyrus/fetchnews[6474]: fetchnews: nntp.aioe.org offered 4; localhost rejected 0, accepted 0, failed 4

This problem was registered as bugreport on cyrus and fixed in 2.4.18:
https://bugzilla.cyrusimap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3833 . A detailed description of
the problem can be found there. Also I had a similar problem during
upgrading from debian 6 to debian 7: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=734648

I compiled the cyrus nntpd from cyrus 2.4.18. With this nntpd I could 
successfully deliver news into my imap spool.
