It's been a while since I've read the NNTP RFC, but IIRC only one asterisk is used to indicate wildcards...and the test newsgroup is simply 'alt.test' anyway.

**** - just.
I hide this because I do not wish to point at a particular newsgroup in this forum. In actual testing, I put in the fully name, no "****" at all.

But it is not sending out any testing.news. The router is not blinking as normal in /out traffic.
