We seem to get a large number of articles that end up in the "junk" newsgroup. Most of them are posted from sites that have site names in capital letters (e.g., ISM780 and ICO); practically all of them are running Notesfiles. The headers of the articles superficially appear OK. Is this a known problem for which there is a fix? We are running 2.10.2 (8/14/84 version). Any hints gratefully appreciated. Michael C.

Thanks to all who responded to my request re junked articles. The real problem was that inews was not logging properly. I reinstalled it and it began to log the junked articles. As I later came to suspect, they were merely too old. The fact that they were mostly from notesfiles systems and from sites with upper-case names were both red herrings; it just happens that ISM780 and ICO are both running notes and they are both very far away, topologically speaking, from styx.
