As far as I can tell, if you subscribe to over 5 or 6 newsgroups, then Oasis 
starts receiving items in the Junk group.
I run 1.35, and recently I added some NG's (I think I had 8 in all) and suddenly
things started appearing in Junk. So I deleted some groups, I now only subscribe
to 4, and the Junk items have gone away :)

Hope this helps. After all, I don't really know what I'm talking about :)
There are other people around here that should know the answer. Anyone ?

See Yas,

Paz.
