Disallowing Message Removal by Users?

Is it possible to configure INN so that users cannot initiate removal of
messages (using Cancel or Expires)?  Or is this completely against the
rules?

Why I want this: 

We're running INN solely for the purpose of giving people access to news
groups gated to/from mailing lists.  When people cancel an article on
the news server, then it still remains in the corresponding mailing
list(s).  This leads to complications: For example, I'd like to write a
script that verifies that all messages were correctly gated, and with
people canceling messages this script would report missing messages.
