I'm considering converting from C-news to INN, and I'm only reading and
looking for trouble so far.  I think I've found one problem.

I have a requirement to receive and feed some newsgroups, but not make them
available for local reading.  With C-news, I do this by making sure that
the groups don't exist locally.  C-news then puts them in junk, which I
make unreadable by ordinary users.  I also fix the nntp_access file so
that people can't read junk via NNTP.  C-news forwards the articles to my
feed sites from junk.

Is there a way to do this with INN?  My understanding is that articles
for newsgroups not present in the active file are simply discarded.
I need something that does not require intervention every time a new
group is created within the unwanted groups.
