For INN 2.2 and earlier, in ~news/etc/nnrp.access:

*.foo.bar:Read Post:::*,!control*,!junk*,!local.lusers-we-hate


And some of my other favourite tricks:

In ~news/etc/newsfeeds, don't waste CPU/disk ticks on junk/control:

overview!:!junk,!control.*,*:Ac,Tc,WO,S30000:~news/bin/overchan

controlchan!:!*,control,control.*,!control.cancel\
	:Tc,Wnsm:~news/bin/controlchan
