[news.misc] Question about articles being mailed

tom@dvnspc1.UUCP (Tom Albrecht) (12/09/88)

Does anyone know why our news software started mailing articles?

from the news log file:
...
   Dec  8 15:10	burdvax	received <18657@shemp.CS.UCLA.EDU> ng \
     comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d,comp.graphics subj 'GNUplot' from jsin@CS.UCLA.EDU
   Dec  8 15:10	burdvax	Article mailed to comp-binaries-ibm-pc-d
                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
...

Why are we getting articles mailed to funny things?
We end up getting mail sent to the uucp user saying that the thing couldn't
be mailed, like this:
