Furthermore, with many news systems it is possible to force a posting in a forbidden group by cross-posting to another. For example, if someone posted a message in soc.motss and eunet.test, and the message arrived at my site, the group soc.motss would get created (if it didn't already exist) and the article inserted in that group (as well as in eunet.test). The trick is finding a secondary newsgroup that won't be bothered by the extra traffic, and making sure readers post to both.
