Unfortunately, sites running C-News will automatically create it.

More than likely the culprit was Bruce Becker. The simple solution to
bypassing a Becker-autonewgroup is to add the line:

Path: becker!yoursite!yourname

to your posting. This will "fool" the news software into thinking that
it has already sent the posting to becker's site. Thus, he won't see it,
and rmgroups that he can't see, he can't newgroup.
