The first line was addressed, the second tells you which files in your ../news directory are having conflicts. Check to see that the articles you are being sent (from your news feed) match what you define in your ../news/sys file. What your feed system's sys file says should be similar to what yours says. (May the wizards correct me if I err! :-) In other words, if your feed's sys file says to send you comp and your system doesn't list comp in the sys file, even if it is in the active file, it will be junk-ed. The same thing happens if you state !comp.sw.components in your sys file. Good luck!!
