When I post to a moderated group, I get replys, so I know it's getting
there, and getting replys, but the posting itself never seems to arrive
back at my site.

The most recent one was a RFD I posted to news.announce.newgroups that I've
recieved 4 replys to since I posted it a week ago, but it never made it
here.

Could it be that my post has `geovision' in the from line, and thus my feed
site isn't sending it to me?  If so, is there some configuration thing that
he (or I) need to do?

We're both using Cnews performance release.

The From header isn't consulted at all in the way you are thinking of.
Such processing is applied only to the Path line.  If the moderator of
a moderated group is putting your site's name in a Path, complain!  He
shouldn't be!  The Path line should/must list *only* systems that the
article has passed through as *news*.

I think most moderators get this one right.
