The newsgroup to which they apply ? [leaving a problem with newgroup
control messages which are posted to an appropriate related group]

Control is usually a local pseudo group as I understand it. You
will even find it is broken down into control.* on our server...

8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---------
control 0000017769 0000017762 y
control.cancel 0001219847 0000899905 y
control.newgroup 0000013591 0000012481 y
control.rmgroup 0000004878 0000004566 y
control.sendsys 0000000052 0000000053 y
