It's very simple. Just subscribe control.rmgroup newsgroup on your 
newsserver. Newsgroups control.* are created automatically by every 
newsserver, but there may exist some restrictions set by newsadmin:
* control.* newsgroups may be hidden for common users and you can't see 
those groups on the list of all newsgroups;
* control messages may expire like other messages and you can't see old 
messages.

In such cases you should contact your newsadmin.
