Are you *sure* someone crossposted to 'junk'?  Junk is set up on every
Usenet system I know of as "the place to put all incoming articles that
I don't have a real newsgroup set up for".  For example, my site doesn't
officially get comp.sys.amiga.games and we don't have a newsgroup created
for it.  However, our newsfeed (uunet) still sends us the articles from
that group.  We get 'em, and don't know what to do with 'em.  Junk.

I'll lay dollars to doughnuts that this is what's happending on your
system.  Comp.sys.amiga went through a reorganization recently in which
a *lot* of new groups were created.  Comp.sys.amiga itself is going to
be removed, since it's already been replaced with comp.sys.amiga.misc.
I'll bet at least one of the new groups didn't get created at your site
and traffic in them is being dropped in 'junk'.  Consult your sysadmin.
