No, it is not impossible. You can enter any email address you want.
How should any software know what your correct email address is ?

The mail servers of some internet providers will just overwrite whatever
email address you put in the From: field. Maybe there are news servers that
do the same.

First step: don't use google for posting. Google enforces correct email
addresses as part of how it identifies you. Other usenet sources do not
require that. I pay $9.95 for copper.net internet access, including
usenet feeds, and post with Thunderbird. That is just one combination
to get the effect you see.
