I don't think so. My gateway, which is only for my local machine, uses the moderators file so that if I want to reply to the list I use followup in my newsreader, whereas reply sends mail to the poster. However, this means my submissions to the list will have a Newsgroups line. As well, to assure I don't leak articles from the mailing list to the rest of the world, my posting script automagically puts a local distribution on the messages. Both these, which, IMO, constitute a properly set up gateway, would be filtered in this proposal. I'd have to hack on INN's mail to moderator routines to fix this.
