Checkgroups msg not stored in control.checkgroups group

[toon at vdpas.hobby.nl]

Hi,

I have a problem with the processing of control msgs.
Last thursday I received the monthly checkgroups control
message for the nl.* hierarchy. It did not get processed
automatically due to a pgp-related problem.

When I started investigating the problem I couldn't find
the message in the control.checkgroups spool directory.
But through my newsreader I'm able to read it.
Here's the directory listing of the spool directory:

	$ cd /var/spool/news/articles/control/checkgroups/
	$ ls -l
	total 173
	-rw-rw-r--    1 news     news         3913 Oct  3 21:26 61

The headers of the checkgroups message (retrieved through
the news reader) say the following:

	Newsgroups: nl.newsgroups
	Xref: vdpas.hobby.nl control.checkgroups:80

This is funny. The Xref says that it should be stored in file nr 80...
Now the fact is that I have the nl.* hierarchy stored in a cycbuff,
while the control.* hierarchy is stored in stradspool.
But I would expect the control messages to always be stored in
the applicable control.* groups if they are available.
Am I wrong here?

My storage.conf file looks like this:

	method cnfs {
		newsgroups: alt.*,nl.*
		class: 1
		options: JUNKGRPS
	}

	method tradspool {
		newsgroups: *
		class: 2
	}

I'm running inn-STABLE-20010525 on this system, configured with OVDB.
It's running fine, apart from this little detail.

Regards,
Toon.
