Yes.
The uwildmat manpage says:
"If none of the patterns match, the whole expression doesn't
match. Otherwise, whether the expression matches is
determined entirely by the rightmost matching pattern;
the expression matches the text if and only if the
rightmost matching pattern is not negated."
The last pattern in the newsgroups: line is a catchall, and because
it's a poison (@) that means that no articles will be stored.
