There is a setting "-smartquote":

"The quoting style of most newsreaders is different from traditional fidonet
 software. If you enable this option, JamNNTPd will try to change any quoted
 lines to fidonet style. This means that it will try to insert the initials
 of the person you reply to before the '>' character and also that it will try
 to compound multiple generations of quotes, i.e. "AA> BB>" will be changed
 into "BB>>".

 Reformatting quotes in this way means that the user who posts a message will
 no longer have final say over the final content of the message since it will
 be changed after he or she sends it to JamNNTPd. Since this in principle is
 a bad thing even if quoted text will look a lot better after reformatting,
 this option is turned off by default."

And yes, it has been turned off in this server. Every newsreader has it own
way of quoting, so it may or may not work properly.
