I'm aware of this. I just said gnus to indicate what news reader I was
using (in case of known bugs, configuration problems etc.). I'm running
newsx version 0.11 and INN 1.7.2. I has been working flawlessly since
I installed it more than a year ago. I should have expressed this in
my previous message.

I have included the exclude part, but I don't exclude the junk and
control groups like you do above. Here's my entries in the newsfeeds
file:
news.supernews.com/supernews.com,Supernews,Supernews70,Supernews69\
:*,!sol.*\
:Tf,Wnm:news.supernews.com
news.sol.no/sn.no\
:!*,sol.*\
:Tf,Wnm:news.sol.no
Like I mentioned earlier, news.sol.no want talk to me anymore so the
article in question did not originate from that server.

Are you saying that the fact that I have not excluded junk and control
is the reason for my problem?
Takk for svar.
