vb.org Archive - View Single Post - NNTP Gateway for Usenet ( Newsgroups ), Mailing Lists

The server option refers to the USENET or NNTP server address.

Normally your ISP will have a newsgroup/usenet/nntp server for example my ISK Blueyonder, has a newsgroup server at the address: news.blueyonder.co.uk

If your ISP does not have a newsgroup server, then there are plenty of free servers on the internet, google for one. If that does not work then there are newgroup servers ran by commercial companys that charge for access to them.

You would put that server address into the server field.
You would put the newgroup such as rec.arts.anime.creative into the newsgroup/mailing list email.

See the attached .jpg for reference.
