You have described the reasons I did something else. I wrote my own 
mailtonews script, which among other things merges In-Reply-To and 
References. Then I posted by rnews, preserving the message-ID, so that 
duplication would only result in a quiet reject. I set the group 
moderated with the group submission address as the moderator address.

My internal lists are majordomo, and I gateway about 40 other lists 
which are various things. Post get to the list, so I presume that poster 
information passes through and articles get approved to closed lists.

Works for me.
