The way to 'test' that is to post a question, not a 'test message' which
is guaranteed to irritate. There are test groups galore for posting test
messages in if all you want is to check that your settings get the result
you intended, or that you can post at all.

Apart from spam, I haven't seen many posts from China in the uk.* groups.

They don't irritate me. What *does* do that is people beefing about a
simple message that they could just ignore if they don't like it.

It dosn't but if he can post to *that* group chances are he should be
able to post to *this* group.

If you can successfully post a test to uk.test
then you should be able to post to any group

That's what it's for

Not so. I once had a *very* obscure configuration problem which left me
able to post to around half the groups I was actually subscribed to on a
somewhat random basis. Posting only to test groups would have proved
nothing.
