{Though this is essentially for the moderators I am also accepting it
because the response is relevant to the whole group. -mod}

I can see through google that some messages are spoofed
probably with header "Approved:..." in order to bypass moderation
mechanism; also NNTP-Posting-Host header is spoofed in such
messages.
If it is possible please prevent further spoofing and bypassing
of moderation queue.

Thanks, Bane.

{Unfortunately there is nothing the moderators can do. Spoofing means
that the items concerned never come anywhere near us and are widely
propagated before we are even aware of the problem. Because of forged
cancel messages, we can no longer use that mechanism with any real
chance of widespread success -- cancels are ignored by many
news-servers.

It is a feature of modern life that a miniscule number of people can
adversely affect the work and leisure of vast numbers of others.
