*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR [favorite bug nonsense] ***
Consider the following chain of events:
- You are a newish but established usenet site with your active
file in order.
- You change the site from which news is fed to you.
- The new feed sends you a bunch (>50) of regional newsgroups that
you didn't get from the previous site.
- All those groups get dumped in "junk". (Your site never got a
control message to create them).
The fix is simple, right? Just read the docs... recompile news with
AUTONEWNG defined and run that way for a few weeks, letting all those
groups create themselves. Wrong! You're running 2.10.2 & find that
AUTONEWNG has gone the way of the edsel.
Does 2.10.2 provide an alternative?
