Running NEWS 5.9C (thanks, Geoff!), VMS 5.2. 

While reviewing last night's RNEWS log files [RNEWS is a DECUS uucp thing
that takes news batches received via uucp and feeds them to NEWS via 
ADD BATCH commands] I noticed a message that was rejected due to my sys
filter. 

The message was posted to alt.flame and to news.groups (in that order), and 
followups were directed to alt.flame.  My sys filter says (among other things) 

	news,!alt

Is this the intended behavior?  I thought that the posting to news.groups
should be alllowed.
