- 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.
