Anyone ever seen this problem???

Pretty much standard INN under BSD/OS v2.0. We receive our feeds from Pagesat 
Satellite link. The problem is that any new newsgroups are rejected, with a 
message in the log similar to: "UNWANTED NEWSGROUP ........." We have checked 
configuration over and over again and are either blatantly missing something or 
there is a flaw somewhere. Anyone have any tips on where to begin looking? It 
gets to be a REAL pain to have to rebuild the newsgroups/active files by hand 
every month or so, and this has been like this since day 1. It looks like for 
some reason the system just rejects anything not already in its list, rather 
than adding it as a new entry....
 

If you are feeling REAl generous, I'd welcome copies of config files e--mailed 
for comparison!

:D
