I recall this problem being mentioned a year or so ago, and I
thought it had been resolved at that time. Obviously it hasn't,
with respect to at least one newsgroup.

Symptom: I reply to a mod.ai article by mailing to
mnetor!seismo!sri-stripe.arpa!ailist.  The article gets
posted with a Path: line that includes my site (lsuc);
as a result, lsuc is never sent it. Not only do I not
see it (not so serious), but our downstream feeds never
get it either. (I've confirmed that this has happened with
others' postings. It happened to me with mod.announce too.)

If the mail path used to reach the moderator includes major
Usenet backbones, the chances are that other large chunks of
the net won't see the article either.

What can be done? I know we want the From: lines to indicate
the real author, but perhaps if the Path: lines stick to starting
with the moderator, rather than reaching back to the person who
mailed the submission, the problem could be solved.
