You've got the parameters in the wrong order.

/**
* Post an article to a number of newsgroups.
*
* (Among the aditional headers you might think of adding could be:
* "NNTP-Posting-Host: <ip-of-author>", which should contain the IP-address
* of the author of the post, so the message can be traced back to him.
* Or "Organization: <org>" which contain the name of the organization
* the post originates from)
*
* @param string $newsgroups The newsgroup to post to.
* @param string $subject The subject of the post.
* @param string $body The body of the post itself.
* @param string $from Name + email-adress of sender.
* @param optional string $aditional Aditional headers to send.
*
* @return mixed (string) server response on success or (object) pear_error
on failure
* @access public
*/
function post($newsgroups, $subject, $body, $from, $aditional = null)
{
return $this->cmdPost($newsgroups, $subject, $body, $from, $aditional);
}
