From: Scott Bemis mcnc!rti-sel!tijc02!root Johnson City, Tennessee Phone: (615) 461-2959 Some avid readers of Usenet at my office have noticed this following problem. Some articles of newsgroups listed in /usr/lib/news/active are thrown into /usr/spool/news/junk. These avid readers get upset when articles from newsgroups like mod.sources end up in junk. Part 01 of a source posting can be put in the proper directory, /usr/spool/news/mod/sources. But Part 02 can end up in /usr/spool/news/junk. Has anyone noticed this problem before? How can I fix it on my computer - what is setup incorrectly? I am currently running USENET B 2.10.2 software with AT&T UNIX V Release 2.0 Version 2 on a VAX 11/785. Any help would be appreciated. Sincerely Scott Bemis

Please note, I have removed comp.unix.wizards from the group list... You might try upgrading to a newer version of news, but that is probably not your problem. (But, we have gone from 2.10.2 to 2.10.3 to 2.11.) For the answers to problems such as this, you should always check the news log file. When an article is junked, it tells you why. One reason might be that the posting date is too far in the past (EG, an article takes a month to get from host A to your host. This time limit is setable.). Look there and it should tell you what you want to know. -Fred-
