I don't know because I've used Google newsgroups only for reading.  See what your posting
options are, if you can put a fake one in, I would do that.  

I've been using a copy of Free Agent I've had for many years which still works under XP...
 Because I use it only for reading and posting to USENET and never for email, I can afford
to put in a fake email address and leave it that way.  I don't know if Free Agent is still
available...
