Unfortunately moderation rarely works, because the "Approved-by"
header, which is added by the moderator can also very easily be
added by the spammer. In fact one nntp client commonly used by
spammers does it for you.
As an example, look at the amount of spam that is posted and
propagated within the commercial, moderated, clarinet.* hierarchy.
