Currently my /usr/local/lib/news/sys file contains the following line 
for deciding which news to send to our local "admin" machine:

admin:all,!local,!junk/all:f:/var/news/out.going/admin/togo

This works. But if I change it to something like the following:

admin:alt.best.of.internet,\
alt.fan.bill-gates,\
misc.entrepreneurs,\
soc.culture.japan:f:/var/news/out.going/admin/togo

then nothing at all is sent to admin.

I want to change the sys file because I will be drastically increasing 
our newsgroup feed, but I don't want to change what is sent to "admin". 
That is why I wanted to list each newsgroup separately. 

What is the best way to do this?

Thanks!
