Usenet news transport systems will look at the Path: header and if they
see their own name, they will drop the post. (Leafnode does not
currently check the Path because it's assumed that it's a transport
endpoint.) So, the upstream system must NOT be named eber.gnuu.de for
this to work.

Or ask the upstream newsmaster to check his logs and tell you.
