The newsfeeds.conf file is mainly for outgoing feeds. Generally it is safe
to leave these as 'groups *' since you won't have the other groups to send.
The me feed is a special case, and controls the names of groups that are
allowed on your server. What you are doing is correct, but you have one
technical error.
Change -
groups !*,alt.*,!*binar*,!*bianar*,!*test*
To -
groups *,alt.*,!*binar*,!*bianar*,!*test*
(I.e. remove the ! from in front of '*', since that means 'not').
Rob is also correct, the restrictions on what groups to suck from a feed
need to go in dnews.conf, specifically in the nntp_feeder or nntp_suckn
settings.
The method you would use depends on what you are trying to achieve. I would
suggest just making the above change and doing a 'tellnews reload'.
