Yep, I did that - it says a lot of:

Only there are a hell of a lot more of them. Thats under sci.crypt (the
important one) - Only, I don't suspect this is a problem, because my ISP
seems to keep headers a lot longer than bodies (which is stupid if you ask
me, why show you something you can't have?) and when I compared articals,
all the ones that gave outlook express a "news is no longer on server" error
on my ISP, did infact get through to my leafnode server, only they had an
empty message body - is there a way to not import these messages? I tried
setting the minlines to 1 but I am guessing leafnode gets the minlines from
the lines header, which actually says how many lines there are supposed to
be, not how many there actually are.

all the newsgroups I read I set a group expire of 100 days, since the main
reason for using leafnode is because my stupid ISP deletes articals after
about 2 days.

Yes, I have texpire in my crontab to run nightly, the results:

sci.crypt: 0 articles deleted, 424 kept
sci.physics: 0 articles deleted, 531 kept
units6.6600301s2: 0 articles deleted, 53 kept
total: 0 articles deleted, 1008 kept

I think the problem is they are not actually getting to my server in the
first place.
