Greetings!

I have a problem with my sys file... At least I think that it is my sys file.

I am trying to get only groups:

	all of comp,biz,sci,gnu,misc,news,u3b,unix-pc

	only alt.sys.sun

	all of rec, except rec.nude

	soc.college
	soc.culture.all
	soc.human-nets
	soc.net-people

	talk.politics.all
	talk.rumors

My sys file looks like this:

>> ME:world,na,usa,dc,va,md,!junk,!nasa,to.hq,\
>> biz,comp,ddn,gnu,misc,news,sci,u3b,unix-pc,\
>> alt.sys.sun,!alt,\
>> pubnet.config,pubnet.nixpub,!pubnet,\
>> !rec.nude,rec,\
>> soc.college,soc.culture,soc.human-nets,soc.net-people,!soc,\
>> talk.rumors,talk.politics,!talk
>> 

What happens is a message is logged saying:

"Newsgroups in active but not sys"

The articles are then left in junk.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
