If a group is moderated, where does the e-mail happen?  

I had assumed it was in the newsreader (e.g. slrn), but it
doesn't look like that's the case.  I don't think the
newsreader actually has access to the required info.  Is it the
news server software (whatever's at the other end of the NNTP
connection) that checks to see if a group is moderated and send
the e-mail?
