    From the nntp_host description page:

----------
nntp_host (gateway): The Internet address of the machine your News server is running 
on.

The News server is not part of Mailman proper. You have to already have access to a 
NNTP server, and
that NNTP server has to recognize the machine this mailing list runs on as a machine 
capable of reading
and posting news.
----------


    So the answer here is, yes you need one.  Unless you can ask your ISP to allow you 
to use their NNTP
server...or arrange something else.
