     I have been running c-news for about 4 months now.  Just in
the past month, I have started receiving "Bogus newsgroup"
messages from "rn" for new groups created through a control message.  

     The groups are present in the active file, a directory for each
exists in NEWSSPOOL, and most of them have articles in their
respective directories.  What gives?

     I vaguely remember questions about the "Bogus newsgroup" being
posted before.  Could somebody please summarize the causes?

Thanks!
