mod.computers.vax was "moderated" while comp.os.vms is not.
It appears that uvacs or uvabick (or someplace close by) thinks
comp.os.vms is moderated and is sending the articles to the "moderator."
In addition, it still has the 2.11 bug that includes the header
in the body of the message, and puts "Submission for ..." in the
subject line.

I posted a patch to patch 4 that fixes this.  Patch 5 had something
similar to my patch, but I haven't analyzed it since I'm still at
patch 4, waiting for the subsequent patches to stabilize (it looks
like Patch 8 is stable enough).

As far as uva* returning messages, that's not a software problem.
I suspect edison might be involved in the scandal as well.
See 7178@orchid.UUCP for the headers.
