We recently installed news 2.11 and obtained a usenet feed. We've now been asked to keep out some newsgroups. From the documentation it appears that adding !rec.wombats to our entry in the sys file should do it, and indeed the log file records "Newsgroups in active, but not sys"; however, the article is then added to the junk newsgroup. Well, that's sort of like keeping it out, but not what we expected (or wanted). Looking at the code (inews.c), it appears that if the newsgroup isn't in active then it's localized to junk, and if it's in active but not sys then it's still localized to junk. Am I missing something, or can we really not keep newsgroups out from our end of the feed? Thanks, Ron Stanonik stanonik@nprdc.arpa
