xfering newsgroups ?

[Rajeev Lamba]

Ok, thanks.Have started the news alricles migration using this method and
articles are being xfered.

Notice lots of Rejected atricles though with  Unwanted distribution "local",

Jul 15 15:07:47.291 - newsme.iplanet.com <cabal.3E311D2F.5060103 at sun.com> 437 Unwanted distribution "local"
Jul 15 15:07:47.291 - newsme.iplanet.com <cabal.3E311F57.1000203 at sun.com> 437 Unwanted distribution "local"

Is this normal ?, newsfeeds ME entry on new server has :

# Empty default subscription list, reject all incoming articles with a
# distribution of "local" or "collabra-internal," accept all others.
ME:!*/!local,!collabra-internal::

which think is causing articles with local distribution be rejected.

thanks,
-Rajeev
