With all the talk about cnews zapping articles with bad dates, I have noticed
more than a few articles posted to non-existant newsgroups come thru and wind
up in my junk directory (perhaps someone types rec.amateur.radio instead of
rec.radio.amateur).  Nobody seems to be concerned about these bogus groups.
I can only assume that the upstream sites, like me, specify "all/!local" or
something like this when feeding their sites.  Now I wonder: if everyone used
something like "all,!junk/!local", will it have the desired effect, or will it
only affect articles explicitly posted to "Newgroup: junk"?

(I know, I could read the code, or do a test, but with all the expertise on
the net, surely someone can save me the time.)
