Any article which gets posted to Cyrus nntpd will have the post address added to the Reply-To header, and this address will be present in the article when it is transferred to the outside news peer.
I thought I raised this concern, but it may have just been a mumble to myself, something I do way too often and it gets confusing.
Anyway, yeah, I think it should be stripped before posting to peers. Even if you block it at the MTA, it'll no doubt cause confusion for those outside of your kingdom.
I've actually been looking for more info on this type of thing, and here is what I found:

I can strip the address before transferring the article via NNTP, but this doesn't help if the article is posted/replied via SMTP.
I'm having a bad day, so this little problem (and any possible solutions) are just adding to my frustration. If anybody has any suggestions, I'm all ears.
