Hello again,

I am having a problem with the UUCP feed I have set up to my machine
from kestrel.edu: even though, in the sys file on kestrel, I have
carefully listed only those groups I wish to receive, I seem to be
getting everything (6Mb arrived this morning).  I can't afford either
the phone bill or the disk space for a full feed.  Does anyone have
any guesses as to the problem?  The sys file line on kestrel reads:

zetasoft:ba,alt.astrology,alt.consciousness,alt.conspiracy,alt.magick,alt.pagan,alt.politics.bush,alt.politics.clinton,alt.politics.elections,alt.politics.homosexuality,alt.rave,alt.save.the.earth,alt.self-improve,alt.sexual.abuse.recovery,comp.ai,comp.binaries.mac,comp.binaries.ibm,comp.compilers,comp.lang,comp.mail.sendmail,comp.mail.uucp,comp.object,comp.os.cpm,comp.os.linux,comp.os.mach,comp.os.minix,comp.patents,comp.risks,comp.society,comp.software-eng,comp.sources.sun,comp.sources.unix,comp.sources.
