I'm trying to pass on some news that isn't localized on this site. It's not working... This is site sequoia. Attached is site execu. I thought from my attempt to RTFM that the way to do it would be to have sys file lines like this: sequoia:\ all,!to,to.sequoia:F: execu:\ all,!to,to.execu:F: but it doesn't seem to work. A neighboring site wanted the files from my junk area also and I built a sys file line like this to try to send junk to them as well as the other groups they wanted. It doesn't seem to be working either: othsite:\ world,na,usa,tx,austin,houston,dfw, biz,bionet,info,unix-pc,u3b,junk\ :F: Anyone want to point out to me what I did wrong? Seems like it should be SOOO simple :-( Thanks in advance.

If you want to pass on articles that are going into junk, then edit your active and sys file to add and accept those news groups or in lieu of editing the active issue a local newsgroup creation message. If you have alot of junk articles then there is a reason, edit or talk to your feed, as they are feeding you something you may not want. BTW do not edit hte active or sys during batching,unbatching,expire or anytime rnews is running,its safer to issue a newgroup creation.
