I have been getting the following error message for a few weeks. Anyone seen this / know what it means??? Oct 29 22:29 <370@amethyst.ma.arizona.edu> inews: Local group junk removed The junk directory is indeed there and has the usual permission. It even gets filled. This isn't causing any problem (other than hogging a few blocks of disk space) - it's just becoming my pet peave.

Since the newsgroup "junk" is strictly a local newsgroup, inews does not like it and conseqently removes "junk" from that article's Newsgroups line. (Yes, the error message is misleading.)
