In article <jbutler.21.000C09F3@bamanet.ua.edu>, jbutler@bamanet.ua.edu (Jeremy Butler) says:

The moderator would have to post the article (with the necessary
approved header) back to the newsgroup. In your case, though, the
same effect could be accomplished by mailing the post (with you as
Sender and the original writer as From) to the mailing list. It
would be distributed to the subscribers -- which includes the gateway.
The gateway would then put the article in the newsgroup with the
appropriate headers.
