[leafnode-list] only_groups_pcre failing lin leafnode2?

["Cory C. Albrecht" <cory+leafnode@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

While watching a run of fetchnews -vvvvv I noticed that certain
servers were apparently getting queries for groups that did not
match their only_groups_pcre setting. They were all for alt.binaries
groups which I have set as delaybody.

For ecmaple with the following server def:

server = news.spamcop.net
feedtype = NNTP
#nodesc = 1
post_anygroup = 0
only_groups_pcre = ^spamcop\..*
timeout = 50

I got the following lines in /var/log/news:

Similar lines get logged for news.microsoft.com which has
"only_groups_pcre = ^microsoft\..*" and for news.individual.net which
has "only_groups_pcre = !alt\.binaries\..*".

Is fetchnews actually checking these biaries groups for the requested
bodies of articles in delaybody groups? Or is the is just a case of
somewhat ambiguous over-logging - i.e. saying it's going to get the requested
delayed bodies from the current server but then it never actually does.

BTW, where does leafnode store infor about delayed bodies to be fetched next
time 'round?
