On this site, we got the first few (7?) and because we have MANUALLY
turned on they automatically got junked. Since I read junk, I noticed
it and created mod.recipes and the following articles were treated
correctly, but any sites downstream of me won't receive the junked
ones.

I'm not going to turn MANUALLY off so there is a chance of this
happening every time a new group is created. I do read net.news.group
but it's not always easy to tell when a consensus has been reached
with the low signal to noise ratio in there.

But this problem is not peculiar to mod groups.
