Spoofing works in scenarios were no feedback is required. NNTP requires a back and forward conversation over an established socket connection to work. [M]adman making an ass of himself in yet another one of his fields of inexpertise.

As far as I'm aware, there is no requirement that the X-NNTP-Posting-Host IP address match the source IP address in the IP packet header, and therefore no reason why the X-NNTP-Posting-Host IP address cannot be spoofed. I'm always happy to be set straight if I'm wrong.
