That Gnus tried to send the message to Newsgroup gmane.linux.debian.user ?
That the Debian mailing list server does not accept messages without To:,
Cc:, or Bcc: to a debian-list ?


I had a look at gmane.linux.debian.user via a USENET provider. There it is
an outdated and incomplete copy of messages from debian-user. Last from
february 2019. The group linux.debian.user looks quite complete from here.
(USENET server content can vary from provider to provider. It depends on
 what they accept from other servers.)

In the headers of the message by Andrei POPESCU to which you try to reply
i see:

  Path: news.gmane.org!.POSTED.blaine.gmane.org!not-for-mail
  From: Andrei POPESCU <andreimpopescu@gmail.com>
  Newsgroups: gmane.linux.debian.user
  Approved: news@gmane.org
  ...
  To: debian-user@lists.debian.org

I tried to go that URL. But it i only get ain error 522 "Connection timed out"
from a company named Cloudflare which states that it would try to connect
to the real server.

Maybe others have more luck and see Rodolfo's follow-up somewhere around

I have not a single "Path:" header in my scdbackup mailbox.
The header "Newsgroups:" appears two times. One is in Rodolfo's failed
attempt, one in a mail which i got from a different message list.

As said, Path: and Newsgroups: belong to the RFC family beginning at
RFC850 (USENET) which we know as newsgroups, not to the RFC822 family
(ARPA Internet Text Messages) which we know as e-mail.
  RFC850 is now https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5536
  RFC822 is now https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322


Have a nice day :)
