Easy enough to do when you're bringing up a new site. You should not be running checkgroups control messages automatically. Have them be sent to you as mail and deal with them by hand. They're of the most use in regional and alternative distributions, since the backbone isn't issuing them anymore (just posting them to news.admin).
