IIRC, gmane intercepts a first-time post to a newsgroup->mailing list
using a mangled email that it gets and later forwards on your behalf
when you prove that you're human.  Or something like that.  The weird
thing is that it did that for a personal email -- maybe someone posted
a reply with CCs, where the usual thing is to have only newsgroups?
