Stefan had been banned for years because of this issue. In mid-2021
(wow, that long ago? I thought that was a lot more recently) his posts
started to appear again.
I don't know if this was a concious decision of the moderators, a
technical error or whether Stefan changed something which caused him to
escape the filter.
I don't think it matters. If someone posts to a Usenet group with the
full knowledge that it is gatewayed to a mailing list it is unreasonable
to expect the moderators of the list to jump through hoops to comply
with wishes hidden away in a non-standard header.
