You have it backwards. Mass catchup means ignore all messages currently
on the news server and start gatwaying to the list with the next news
message to arrive.

In the Mail<->News gateways Section for my "alpha" list I clicked the
box for a mass catchup. The news server is the same machine, so I
entered localhost. (I'm running leafnode.)
I do see NNTP in the cron script for mailman, so I uncommented that:
root@dur:~#
root@dur:~# cat /etc/cron.d/mail
