On sending, several checks are done.  One test is to check if the
newsgroups exists (I'm not sure about the details, sorry), see the
variable `message-syntax-checks'.

Maybe you had disabled the check `existing-newsgroups' in
`message-syntax-checks'?  Or you can disable it there, if the prompt
annoys you.
