 According to control.ctl man page:

 The third argument for a line affecting checkgroups does not affect
 whether the line matches. It is only used after a matching line is found,
 to filter out which newsgroups listed in the checkgroups will be
 processed. This means that a line like:

     checkgroups:*:*binaries*:drop

 will cause all checkgroups control messages to be dropped unless they
 match a line after this one in control.ctl, not just ignore newsgroups
 containing binaries in the name. The general rule is to never use * in the
 second field for a line matching checkgroups messages. There is
 unfortunately no way to do what the author of a line like the above
 probably intended to do (yet).
