I'm afraid you do.  And I'm afraid the answer is probably going to be
the one you asked people not to tell you...  I don't think B News ever
did get the feature needed to cope with this right (although I lost track
of B News changes around 2.11 and may have missed it).

In C News, your sys file entry would start "king/king.mcs.drexel.edu:"
instead of just "king:", to say "his name is king, but by the way, don't
send him anything that seems to have passed through king.mcs.drexel.edu".
Try it, maybe it'll work...

Alternatively, you could list him as king.mcs.drexel.edu in the sys file
but specify an explicit file name (i.e. don't leave the last field empty)
to direct output to a file named .../king instead of .../k.m.d.e.
