I've not understood moderator's work

He should add an Approved header and post it.  One convenient way of doing
that is to pipe the email message to "|inews -a me at home".

Absolutely nothing.  There is no verification on Approved headers at all -
they only have to be non-blank.  Take a look at groups like alt.hackers where
the group is moderated, but there isn't a moderator.  They do that as a
minimal bar to entry - you can only post if you've figured out how to add an
Approved header yourself.  Often times the Approved: header will contain
jokes rather than email addresses.
