Q: Why does my log say I am dumping all this stuff I am not signed up for?
Q: Why am I getting all these areas that I am not subscribed to?
A: When newsgroups are crossposted, only a single copy is actually sent to
you; in that message, there is a line that says what newsgroup(s) that
single message needs to be placed into. This line _may_ (and probably
_will_) contain one or more groups that you are not subscribed to. However,
the "Newsgroups" line is not altered.
When GIGO gets messages with crosspostings to newsgroups that you do not
want, GIGO will automaticly keep copies of the appropriate areas, and dump
those that you do not want. If you enable logging of dumped messages, it is
these message areas that are being dumped, and _is_ perfectly normal.
Personally, I think that logging dumped messages is useless, but I had
requests for it, so I programmed it in. I have that option disabled on my
system.
