INN does rely on the Message-ID to track whether or not it has seen this particular message, but an article being gatewayed in via USENET should not then be gatewayed back out to USENET by Mailman. The pipeline of routines within Mailman should be set up to avoid precisely that condition.
Exactly. When cron/gate_news polls the news group and posts messages to the Mailman list, it puts a fromusenet flag in the message's metadata. The ToUsenet handler looks for this flag and will not process the message if it is present.
