Cross-posts only trigger group reads when you actually read those groups
-- or they _MIGHT_ happen if there were still bugs remaining in the
"request article by Message-ID" code. What news reader are you using? Do
these groups surface in interesting.groups?

Note that cross-posts are only ever fetched once regardless of how many
groups they are posted into. Groups not in interesting.groups are never
fetched -- articles populating these groups indeed appear if and only if
create_all_links is nonzero.

That's how leafnode works.

Try setting "create_all_links = 0" in your /etc/leafnode/config.
