[news.misc] Inews question and a group without being created?

scott@dtscp1.UUCP (Scott Barman) (09/17/88)

In a recent unbatching of alot of news (yes, we are having some problems
with our news feed) I found the following messages were mailed to me
(news) by cron from the previous nights work:

inews: <293@thor.wright.EDU> rejected. linecount expected 95, got 0
inews: <1203@unmvax.unm.edu> rejected. linecount expected 52, got 0
inews: <3797@omepd> rejected. linecount expected 96, got 0
inews: <640*kenw@noah.arc.cdn> rejected. linecount expected 36, got 0
	[ there were many more but deleted here for brevity ]

Could someone *PLEASE* tell me what this is and if I should worry
about it reoccuring.

Also, I have alot of things in junk that were posted to
comp.theory.self-org-sys and I do not have a newsgroup with that name.
Is this new and the possible control message to create this got lost
with the above problem?

THANKS!!

Let's see:

In article <293@thor.wright.EDU>:
a Wright State University graduate is seeking a programming job.

In article <1203@unmvax.unm.edu>:
a motss-er came out to his parents this past week.

In article <3797@omepd>:
a GNU Emacs Lisp pretty printer.

In article <640*kenw@noah.arc.cdn>:
something about VMS backups.

Yeah, this will recur.  What do you expect?  This is USENET!
