The best way is to ask your newsfeed to only send you the groups you want :)
Saves bandwidth & processing time on your feeder.

You should be able to do this. Check the error logs (/var/log/news/* ?)
and /var/adm/messages for the reason the batches are bad....
Note: If you still have a feed & are slurping, you may get duplicates/rejects,
unless the msgs are from diff groups. Not a problem, just a waste :)
