Pretty much standard INN under BSD/OS v2.0. We receive our feeds from Pagesat Satellite link. The problem is that any new newsgroups are rejected, with a message in the log similar to: "UNWANTED NEWSGROUP ........." We have checked configuration over and over again and are either blatantly missing something or there is a flaw somewhere. Anyone have any tips on where to begin looking? It gets to be a REAL pain to have to rebuild the newsgroups/active files by hand every month or so, and this has been like this since day 1. It looks like for some reason the system just rejects anything not already in its list, rather than adding it as a new entry.... If you are feeling REAl generous, I'd welcome copies of config files e--mailed for comparison! :D Mike
