inn refuses messages that contain "Distribution:" in the header



Hello everybody.

Could somebody give me a hand with inn ?

Here's the problem :

I always get news refused, I.E. in my log (var/log/news/news), i always
get the following :
<date> <time> - <name of the server which pushes the news to mine> -
<ident of the message> 437 Unwanted distribution "<dist>"
Where <dist> is a distribution name, like "fido7" or "Global" or "hun"
or "sfnet" ...

Users are complaining about the low amount of news present on the
server.
It seems that the accepted news dont have a "Distribution:" field in the
header.
 
Has somebody an idea of how i can do to make them accepted ?
I read about the "/etc/news/distributions" in
http://www.ist.uwaterloo.ca/~dwhitesi/docs/inn.html but i didn't see
anything about the syntax of this file (no man, ...), so i tried to
create it with an * in it but it doesn't seem to affect the server.

How could i say to inn that he has to accept news from any distribution
?

Thanks.
