Summary: bandrew@lll.ARPA did it


I got it and I'm way the heck out in the boonies.  It was from
bandrew@lll.ARPA.  I think that is the same as bandy@lll.ARPA.
I'm running 2.10.3 alpha and it's configured to just send me
mail when an rmgroup control message comes in.  The reason for
it I believe was for some weenie at Rochester sending a
newgroup net control message out, which did get appended to my
active file.

Actually, I see a lot of newgroup control messages in net.control.
I usually only get mail if there's one there that doesn't already exist.
When I installed news I don't think I sent out any control messages,
I think all it did was create the directories and the active file.
Is this because older versions of news do an inews command to
create a new newsgroup?  I would appreciate any explanation anyone
could give me, the control messages have been puzzling me for
some time.  I remember once I got hit with about 22 newgroup
control messages from someone at Wang.  Why did I get mail that
time and not everytime a newgroup comes along?
