It would be possible to achieve this using the filter rules on your me
feed. You could setup
reg-ex matches on the Path: header, which would let you determine which
upstream site the article
is from and then reject or accept items based on the newsgroups name.
See http://netwinsite.com/dnews/rules.htm
for more details on rules based filtering and let us know if you have
trouble making it work.
