Can you elaborate that further? My understanding of the Path:-entry is
that "the rightmost name will be the name of the originating system".
That's "eber.gnuu.de", in my case. (I don't generally want to have the
article sent back, I do use an nntp-newsreader to verify if my articles
are accepted by the server or not while testing.)

I did test this. The articles are still dumped. I think I'll have to
install an INN and check the exact reasons... :-\
