(7.12) I'm getting groups sent to me that I don't want.

Tell the system administrator(s) of the machine(s) that feed news to
you to stop sending those groups.  There is no other way to do it.  (In
B or C News, the groups would end up in junk; at least with INN they
are not taking up space.  You should compile with WANT_JUNK set to
DONT).

If the people that feed you use B news or C news, remember that they
don't use a "newsfeeds" file.  They use a file called "sys" which has a
completely different format for specifying newsgroups.
