This is realy a news.software.c question, but since that group does not 
exist...

A user at our site just reported a "bug in Pnews".  Turns out he had posted
a note to a long list of groups, one of which was moderated.  inews
simply mailed the article to the moderator of the moderated group without
posting to the unmoderated group.  Is this a bug or a feature ?  I'd tend
towards calling it a bug, since he posted to unmoderated groups and it
failed to show up and he got no diagnostic.
