It's the other end that determines what newsgroups you get fed, however INN
can be configured to just ignore a newsgroup (rather than send it to the
'junk' newsgroup) if it sees a newsgroup not in its active file. This must
be compiled into INN.

: (2) could someone send me a working newsfeeds file (or give me and

: the sampel one to work (inncheck keeps giving me things to fix).

Hmmm, this is not something I can help you with...we only have one newsfeed
and it's a little to simple I would think.
