The "feature" that causes postings to moderated newsgroups to be mailed to
the moderator but not cross-posted in unmoderated newsgroups can lose.  The
problem arises when something is cross-posted to an internal or local newsgroup
(which is a valid use of cross-posting).

In particular, I have just received an article which is cross-posted to
comp.sources.misc and to unix-pc.sources; the latter doesn't exist around
here.  As a result, I have to weed this header out; and that newsgroup will
never receive the posting.

I cannot come up with a fix short of posting to unmoderated newsgroups at
original posting time; what is to tell the news software that the
"unix-pc.sources" newsgroup doesn't exist on ncoast?  It may be exported to
other systems in the sys file but not outside of the organization or region;
and mail doesn't check the sys file.
