Even if the syntax were obvious, this snippet from the customize
buffer seems to indicate one isn't allowed to post nntp method from
mail groups:

(From Customize buffer: gnus-post-methods -ed HP)

  If this variable is `current' (which is the default), Gnus will use
  the "current" select method when posting.  If it is `native', Gnus
  will use the native select method when posting.
  
  This method will not be used in mail groups and the like, only in
  "real" newsgroups.
  
  If not `native' nor `current', the value must be a valid method as
  discussed in the documentation of `gnus-select-method'.  It can also
  be a list of methods.  If that is the case, the user will be queried
  for what select method to use when posting.
