Yarn 0.92 is the most current (unfortunately).

Specifiying multiple news groups should work. At least it does for
VSoup, but it also should for souper. Perhaps you have to omit the
separating blank?

Here's VSoups output of a test article (although this is not a proof
that it worked...):

vsoup -siM nntp://news smtp://smtp
vsoup: connected to news server news (post)
vsoup: connected to smtp gateway smtp
vsoup: posting article to de.alt.test, de.test
posted to news
vsoup: totally 263 bytes received, 505 bytes transmitted
vsoup: 4.3s elapsed, throughput 178 bytes/s

The article on the server looks like (this is a proof!):
