The "readclose" message indicates that a remote connection to your
server was not correctly terminated with the server-command "quit".
This can have two reasons.  First the line your feed uses to connect to
you might be instable so that the connection drops every now and then.
Solution:  either ignore theses messages or find out why the line is
unstable.  The second reason for these messages could be a
missconfigured client-program at your feed.  This means the program
(e.g nntplink) does close the connection without sending the "quit"
first.  If you configure a lower number for the exit-timeout (-e) than
the close-timeout (-C) in nntplink then exactly this will happen.
Solution:  ask your feed to fix its nntplink-setup.  Let me repeat
that:  If you are using "nntplink" your -e value must be higher than
your -C value.
