I believe he used `message-send' from `gnus/message.el'.  The error
comes from the GNKSA (Good Net-Keeping Seal of Approval) check
`multiple-copies':

,----[ <f1> v message-shoot-gnksa-feet RET ]
| message-shoot-gnksa-feet is a variable defined in `message'.
| Its value is nil
| 
| Documentation:
| *A list of GNKSA feet you are allowed to shoot.

| candidates:
| `empty-article'     Allow you to post an empty article;
| `quoted-text-only'  Allow you to post quoted text only;
| `multiple-copies'   Allow you to post multiple copies;
| `cancel-messages'   Allow you to cancel or supersede messages from
|                     your other email addresses.
`----

As the report is not precise, I don't know if he should add
`multiple-copies' to `message-shoot-gnksa-feet' or if there's a
different problem.  AFAIK, Gnus doesn't have any builtin capability
for moderating Usenet group, cf. (info "(gnus)Moderation").

Bye, Reiner.
