Could you describe your OwnSoup in more detail (command line etc...).

To the second point: as mentioned in the documentation, there is a
limitation for OwnSoup:

----------------------------------------
Do not set up "Personal" as a newsgroup, because Yarn would skip the
filtered articles in this case due to the Message-ID:.
----------------------------------------

This means: OwnSoups output will always go into a mail folder - there
is no way to create an OwnSoup-newsgroup (unfortunately).

Anyway, perhaps you might create several mail folders with OwnSoup?

PS: to answer the question about filter1.exe: filter.exe is the setup
program for your mail->newsgroups filters (that's how you setup
the Yarn 'newsgroup'), filter1.exe is used during import of
SOUP-messages to do the actual filtering process.
