I recently submitted a change so that Gnus looks at the right server
when checking whether the groups mentioned in the Newsgroups header
(and some others) are bogus.
But the new version only looks for groups you are subscribed to, the
old version was happy even with unsubscribed groups.
It's not clear to me which behavior is better, though: normally, it
does not make sense to post to unsubscribed groups. But it might
happen via crossposting.
Opinions?

It could check that all groups exist and that at least one is
subscribed. Or make it configurable, maybe?

I don't think Gnus should complain when you're posting to unsubscribed
groups.
