Either way I get the same result.

The post is from a moderated member, Gmane, HOWEVER the header 
that is part of the Gmane post says..

From: Fred Smith fs at myisp.com

I was hoping that that header would take priority over the other Gmane
headers if I blocked Gmane and had a whitelist.

I think the Received: from address is Gmane. Would that header be
authenticated AFTER the To: one ?

So even though the post comes from Gmane the From: info doesn't have
their address. It instead has the address of the person posting to the
newsgroup.

If I unsubscribed Gmane as a member then would the Mailman gateway
settings still result in messages going to, and from, the newsgroup ?

In other words, does anyone here know whether the Gmane subscription
is needed ?
