Summary: bogus posting of article in moderated newsgroup

The following article appeared in comp.sys.mac.digest, a moderated newsgroup
which is supposed to carry only digest postings from arpanet and delphi.
If the headers are not completely bogus, it appears that ucbvax's BITNET-to-
Usenet gateway code is broken.  Not only did it not mail the article to
the appropriate moderator, but it forged an "Approved:" line!
(Alternately, the original poster might have forged the Approved: line;
would it be reasonable for the gateway to strip that out?  Does regular
Usenet "inews" remove hand-written Approved: lines?)

I'm uncertain whether to flame the poster or ucbvax's news admin,
but SOMEBODY screwed up.
