I had something weird happen to me today with INN.  I have the following
entry in my newsfeeds file for my off-campus feed:

ra/ra.nrl.navy.mil\
        :*,!alt.sex,!alt.sex.*,!alt.binaries*,!bit.*,!psu.*,!k12.*/!psu\
        :Tf,Wnm:

Which I interpret to mean not to send any articles posted to psu.* or having
a Distribution header of psu.  Fine, no problem.  Today I receive the
following control message from another PSU site:

Unfortunately, this was sent to my off-campus feed.  Obviously, it shouldn't
have been.  Is this a bug, or a problem with my configuration?
