I'm guessing that this is a problem with your Sendmail config.  I just 
tested this locally by talking directly to lmtpd and I can post to 
+shared/foo at example.net just fine.  You might want to try to change the 
name of shared/News to shared/news.  I *think* sendmail might be 
downcasing the entire localpart of the address.  If that doesn't solve 
the problem, search the list for virtdomains sendmail configs.
