No, an SMTP server is not needed.
Agreed. Posting a newsgroup message/reply is handled via NNTP.
Anyway Chris Ilias have fully explained why there is an smtp server
needed...
Yes, but only if you want to send an EMAIL reply to a poster, which will
not appear in the newsgroup. Hardly anyone does that.
Two buttons, one Reply, one Reply All. In the drop-down for Reply are:
Reply to Newsgroup, and, Reply to Sender Only. The latter would use
the SMTP server since it would be an email, not a news post. In Reply
All are: Reply to Sender and Newsgroup, and, Reply to All Recipients.
The former would use the SMTP server since the sender reply would be
an email. The newsgroup post would use NNTP to post the reply to the
group.
Perfect explanation - thanks.
