I use to suppress the ID line before posting to my upstream server.
Fetchnews (since 1.9.22 at least) skips SILENTLY posts without ID line.
If you are suppressing the ID line like me, try this patch:

*** 1403,1412 ****
            printf("Unable to stat %s: %s\n", de->d_name, strerror(err));
        } else if (S_ISREG(st.st_mode) &&
                   ((f = fopen(de->d_name, "r")) != NULL) &&
!                  ((p = fgetheader(f, "Newsgroups:")) != NULL) &&
!                  (isgrouponserver(p)) &&
!                  ((q = fgetheader(f, "Message-ID:")) != NULL) &&
!                  ((haveid = ismsgidonserver(q)) != 1)) {
            if (verbose > 2)
                printf("Posting %s...\n", de->d_name);
            syslog(LOG_INFO, "Posting %s...", de->d_name);
