This is not doing what you want.  The subscription list in the ME entry
has *absolutely nothing* to do with what newsgroups your site wants.  Please
re-read doc/newsfeeds.5 more carefully.  There is only one place that lists
the newsgroups that you want to receive:  the active file.

You cannot do this.  If you want a newsgroup, put it in the active file.
If you don't want a newsgroup, then remove it from the active file.  If
you want a group filed in junk, use the x or = flags in the active file
entry.

That is a very intersting title -- first time I've ever seen one like it.

  I takes a certain amount of chutzpah to disagree with the author,
  but Rich, I respectfully disagree. On my system, I get unwanted
  groups (that is groups not in the active file) in junk. Why? I
  think because I set the WANT_TRASH variable in config.data to
  DO. I'm not sure what would happen if I had groups with a 4th
  field of 'x' in the active file.

Yes, I was omitting some detail, and that was probably wrong.  If you have
WANT_TRASH set to DO then articles not in the active file will be filed
into junk.  INN does not do this by default, and I really *really* discourage
you from doing it.  The interaction of DO_WANT_TRASH and 'x' groups and 'j'
groups it not intuitively obvious; some have asked me to change innd's
behavior in this case, and I've refused.
