Kat's message to the list about running MediaWiki on Windows got held for moderation on account of "message has implicit destination". After rooting around in the docs, this appears to be because the message was posted through the GMANE news gateway, and thus doesn't have a To: or CC: header pointing to the actual address of the mailing list.
This is presumably intended to protect against spam.
Any thoughts on whether we should turn this check off, or can GMANE be configured so that the messages turn out right? Is anyone else posting to the lists through GMANE and having or not having trouble?

I had no problems so far and if you read this post, the system should (still) work.

I use it always and it works perfect.
In the time that i am listadmin of Wikitech-l and Intlwiki-l the number of postings held for moderation on account of "message has implicit destination" where very few.
But I seen no reason to not check this off. Non-members can not post so there is no spam problem.
