Sending your article requesting a news server does not honour it

The news server could receive your article from another relaying news 
server you sent your article to...

I see in news.software.nntp the suggestion to append the news server in 
the Path header field, so you can try that for instance via the use of 
"pathcluster" in inn.conf if you do not already use it.  Or, a bit more 
complicated, via filter_nnrpd.pl to add a customed Path header field to 
posts.
Of course, it does not guarantee that the news server will not publish 
your article.  It could change its path, or run special code to accept 
such articles all the same!
