If the moderator is using the NNTP gateway as a forwarder, the usual
comments
about how forwarding is the recipients responsibility apply here.
And there is a problem *only* if the moderator is checking SPF *and*
screwed up forwarding.
There are actual several points of forwarding:
1. Article going out from NNTP to %S(_at_)moderators(_dot_)isc(_dot_)org (i.e,
uk-net-beginners(_at_)moderators(_dot_)isc(_dot_)org>.
2. The site in the MX record for moderators.isc.org forwarding the mail onto
the server that was set up when the group was created. In managed
hierarchies this is quite often another forwarding server (i.e,
<uk-net-beginners(_at_)usenet(_dot_)org(_dot_)uk>.
3. That server forwarding the article to the end point, which will then
process the article. This will be at any other site.
My argument being that SPF should _not_ be involved in any of these steps,
which is clearly not happening at present, going on some recent articles I
have seen.
