My question is more like (I'll have to change your beautiful scheme a 
bit, since I don't understand it completely:

Ninguém (me) ---> Gmane NNTP server
Gmane server ---> MLs (?!)

Recently I subscribed to evolution-users ML (I think Gmane doesn't have 
it yet - if I figure this out, maybe I can ask there if they're willing 
to let me add it to Gmane).
I understand I can retrieve posts to the mailing list via NNTP, but if I 
want to *send* a mail there, I am currently thinking that just posting 
an NNTP post to Gmane would result in a mail being sent on my behalf to 
the ML's address (and then retrievable by gmane users, like myself).
But for that to happen, The Gmane server would have to send a real mail 
faking my identity. Since SPF records, for example, are meant to prevent 
exactly that...

(Can you understand my question? Maybe I am not explaining myself 
correctly since I'm not a native english speaker.)
