I suggest the attached patch (gate_news.patch.txt) rather than the one
in the bug report. There could be errors such as a bad nntp_host for a
particular list that will throw socket.error. If we're going to not
allow one list's configuration to abort processing (a good thing I
think), we need to continue on socket.error too.

Thoughts?
