[SUMMARY] - inn refusing articles

[Alex Vorobiev]

see http://www.isc.org/ml-archives/inn-workers/2001/08/msg00142.html for
the original post.

apparently, what happened was i fed the articles when didn't yet have the
group created.  at that point, innd refused the articles (Unwanted group)
and must have logged message ids in the history database.

i did clear the history file itself, but not the dbz databases.  as a side
note, my impression was that innd would have to match an entry in the
history file, and only then check the dbz files...  apparently, that's not
the way it works.

additionally, when i tried using makedbz, the only thing that worked was
reinitializing the dbz fileds.  makedbz -f or makedbz -o did not work.

now, that i reinitialized the dbz files and the history database, it
finally accepted the articles.

i suppose innd should still produce some kind of meaningful error messages
even when the ids are already in the history database.
