The clue is in the header.  This article was cross posted to a newsgroup on
your machine that you should be receiving (probably) - the other newgroup
is just trashed by 2.11, but you are informed of the action.  I do not
feeel this is anything to worry about as you would be getting the article 
anyway with your normal news flow.

If interested, I create the group for grins - mostly, these messages are
ignored....
