[news.sysadmin] Strange messages

What does it mean when we get entires like this in our news log file?

Jul 17 05:11	umn-cs	Expired article <Jul.2.01.38.01.1988.28184@rutgers.rutgers.edu>

Site umn-cs is our news feeder.  We are site ns.  Did we expire it?
Or did umn-cs expire it?  Or was it someone else altogether?

I am assuming some rutgers articles are having trouble getting here very
quickly, as rutgers seems to be the only one that ever causes this message.

Thanks,

This is most likely a map update.. The updates use the
"Supersedes" header,so the news software generates this
message when the article is not around to be superseded.
