I think that we have all just about had our fill of <n> copies of
unapproved articles for moderated groups being shuffled off to
some [mythical] moderator.

May I modestly suggest that "better" behaviour for inews might be:
	(a) if it's a local posting, mail it to moderator
	(b) otherwise, pick one or more of:
		(1) write message in "log"
		(2) write message in "errlog"
		(3) save in "junk" newsgroup
		(4) ignore lack of approval, save as normal

This business of mailing back 20 or 30 comp.binaries.ibm.pc binaries
every day is going to raise someone's eyebrows when the phone bills
comes in.
