current

Documentation

Preferred method for posting Usenet news.

If this variable is current (which is the default), Gnus will use the "current" select method when posting. If it is native, Gnus will use the native select method when posting.

This method will not be used in mail groups and the like, only in
"real" newsgroups.

If not native nor current, the value must be a valid method as discussed in the documentation of gnus-select-method. It can also be a list of methods. If that is the case, the user will be queried for what select method to use when posting.
