I don't want any more. Some of the incoming articles are crossposted. The problem is that articles are crossposted to all groups, even to groups I haven't subscribed to. To prevent this I had a list of all desired newsgroups in the sys file under Bnews, thereby preventing postings to undesired groups. This worked fine. I do exactly the same thing (i.e. list of desired newsgroups in sys file) with Cnews. But this does not seem to work with Cnews. I get postings to undesired groups. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug ? I need to change this, there is too much noise :-( Help, Tomas -- Tomas Felner Modula-2 CASE Systems AS | Internet: tomas@m2cs.uu.no Maridalsveien 139 | Phone: +47 2 379784 N-0461 Oslo 4, Norway | FAX: +47 2 356448
