There is *NO WAY* to do this.  You don't post to the net; you
post to a machine, that in turn propagates selected articles to
others.  This is the same reason you can't post to a distribution
you can't receive.  While you can post from another machine (or
mail it for posting from another machine), it will most likely
turn up at your site fairly quickly.

Cancels are themselves articles.  Contriving a "local" cancel
probably won't do anything useful, and if your site "monitors"
locally-posted articles, even a worldwide cancel won't stop "the
wrong people" from seeing the article.

That's a UUCP path.  Individuals DO NOT have USENET paths.
