I don't really understand how/why this would happen though. Your news reader
should get a list of newsgroups from your BBS names. Those names are what you
have configured in SCFG for each sub-board under "newsgroup". If you don't put
a newsgroup name in SCFG, one will be dynamically generated (based on the
group's shortname and the sub's shortname).

Why would a newsreader put an incorrect newsgroup name in the header? Did you
change the newsgroup name(s) for your subs?
