I've got a problem with receiving articles in unwanted news groups. We get our news via nntpxfer, and I have set up our sys file so that MY site's entry has ! entries for each of the groups that are "leaking" into our site, .i.e !blab.*, !bah.* This didn't help. My junk directory is still being filled with these articles. Where have I slipped up? (Besides being on USENET 8-) Thanks in advance. -- INTERNET: abrams@bnlux0.bnl.gov BITNET: abrams@bnlux0.BITNET UUCP: ...philabs!sbcs!bnlux0!abrams

My junk directory is still being filled with these articles. I seem to have EXACTLY the same problem! Anybody know what the cause of it is and maybe how to fix it? I hadn't noticed it before until I wanted to turn off the 'rec' groups and I couldn't do it, at least where it wouldn't go into the 'junk' directory also. Any pointers, help, fixes, etc. would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! - David Summers (dws@cseg.uucp)

Tell your feed(s) to stop sending you the groups that you don't want. That will save net bandwidth, and processing time on both ends. If that's too much trouble, expire "junk" with a very short time. -- Joe Weening Computer Science Dept. weening@Gang-of-Four.Stanford.EDU Stanford University
