Make sure that you add a Path: header to the incoming message,
including some sitename such as 'mailtonews.twg.bc.ca' and exclude
that site name from being sent outbound by an exclusion as below:

mail/mailtonews.twg.bc.ca:\
	twg.taylor-list/all:L:/usr/lib/sendmail taylor-uucp@gnu.ai.mit.edu

Only non gated articles will match this.  The you can use the L flag
to work out if it should be sent based on number of hops as well.

Cheers,
