Looks to me like this doesn't work right:  When I create a local,
moderated newsgroup, the protection shows an "m" that indicates this. 
For a netwide moderated group, I can't get it to show that "m", although
the moderator's address does get into the MAILPATHS file.  I haven't
dared post anything into a moderated group yet...  :-)
