Google and NTTP Posting Host

In another group someone is posting through Google and he says that he
can munge his NTTP Posting Host. Certainly it changes and he seems
to be able to make it what he wants, so it's more than just a dynamic IP.
Can anyone tell me how this is done when posting through Google?

In which other newsgroup? What was the post's title and author? I'd be
curious to see that poster's headers to see if they really did manage to
forge the NNTP-Posting-Host header (presuming it is not THEIR news
server to modify) or if they just inserted a bogus one. If they can
indeed forge the NNNTP-Posting-Host header then I'd expect to see a
value that wasn't even an IP name or IP address.

proxy the connection to google.

free proxies are out there and available, if you can find a stable
one...

for a stable, reliable, pseudo-anonymous paid-proxy, webmail, email,
anti-spam filters, etc. www.cotse.net

It's easy. Just go to Google through a proxy and post.
You can see in this message. The IP here is a proxy and not mine. My IP is
something like 66.186.*.*

I'm pretty sure it's impossible to forge the NNTP-Posting-Host. I bet
the guy was just using different proxies.
