Have you tried using the default config settings (with the appropriate remote
server l/pwd of course) ?

Dunno. Might want to ask on the leafnode e-mail list. You're rapidly getting
beyond my level of expertise. I don't use anything beyond the default settings
in my config file.
It's my understanding that Leafnode doesn't fetch newsgroups that one doesn't
read -- so the concern of alt.test filling up your spool is perhaps misguided
-- at least after the initial fetch. ;)

Adding it to the filter didn't work ?
