#1 worked great -- thanks!

#2 - Doesn't newsfeeds.conf only control outgoing feeds? I want to control 
messages that DNews receives from it's sucking feed. Will this do that as well?

The 'me' feed at the top of newsfeeds.conf is really 'incoming' news, so 
yes it can apply to your incoming feed and filter it.

Any help you can provide me will be greatly appreciated. I have 2 questions:

#1) In DNews Admin there are many hosts listed in the graph's legend. No

matter how many times I disable them in the Graph menu, they continue to
appear. Also, I do not even know where these hosts are coming from as we
no longer have any configured feeds for them. If someone could tell me how
to get these remove that would be terrific.

Here is the recipeee to get rid of those:
        net stop dmgrsvc
        cd dnews
        cd work
        del gstat.dat
        net start dmgrsvc

#2) In the nntp_feeder property in dnews.conf for our sucking feed we have

specified a filterd list of groups. This works fine, however we would also
like to filter incoming messages based on subject, as well. Is this possible?

yes, in newsfeeds.conf you can put:

site me
        groups *
        accept default
        reject subject "bad word"
        reject subject "bad word2"

Thanks!
