It's Usenet server specific.
Assuming your originating Usenet server doesn't outright drop the cancel
on the floor, it's up to each receiving Usenet server if it honours the
cancel or ignores it as some servers have it disabled due to abuse.
However, I haven't had to look at this for at _least_ a couple of years
so I have no idea what percentage "some servers" actually is these days.
