Ah, ok.

I'll take you word on that. Certainly if that's the case in
your situation, you asked for that deliberately for whatever
good reason you had at that time, and that's what we did.

Certainly you installed his requests the way *Brian* asked you to.
Now he's confused and complaining because you did you he asked you
to do?

Yes, he could do that. Or he could ask you to gate individual
newsgroup articles to corresponding addresses that he would
internally (at his host) manage to his specific liking. No
Rocket Science (TM) required - he just has to ask you, right?
I don't see how his lack of asking you properly for what he wants
is cause for public complaint of his resulting confusion. I do
hope the suggestions provided help him sort things out on his end.
Additional suggestion (to Brian) - he could use "maildelivery" to
file incoming articles by Newsgroup in several ways, if that would
help him try to recreate a tiny subset-by-kludge of newsreader
functionality at the MUA level. He could do it at the MTA level
too, but I see no need to delve into that overkill methodology.
