News servers commonly support message cancellation; the problem 
is just that DFeed doesn't fold in the updates (don't know 
whether Vladimir is actually working on this or not).

As far as access control (banning, etc.) goes, NNTP really does 
not have a lot of features. For removing the amount of spam which 
hits this newsgroup, a simple cancelbot might be enough, though.
