any idea why I am getting this storage.conf error and it throttles news.

[Wilson, Sue LCC]

I thought you can't change the classes in storage conf, but if you can=20
Are you saying I should make the newgroups: *.usace   class 0
And the newsgroups: * 1
And add the catch all=20

Or=20
Should will just adding the catch all take care of it

??

I will do the catch all anyway, that much I understand.

thankyou

Yes:

This file file all articles with a wire size of less than 100000 Bytes
into that storage class. Including those in usace.* which is what you
proably do not want. First match wins and I guess the second declaration
should be in the first place.

Consequently this will take care of articles in usace.* with a size
between 100k and 2M.

It's a very good idea to add an catch-all at the end here, even if
simply discards articles, like:

method trash {
	newsgroups: *
	class: 99
}

At the moment, articles for !usace.* larger than 100k have no place to
go - and you've probably got feeded such a beast. The same would happen
with a 2M article for usace.* although maxartsize in inn.conf would
block such articles entirely.
