Here it is showing the SMTP parameter to be entered for the

account:

This is not the page where you set the news server. My setting for
Outgoing Server (SMTP) is "Use Default Server".
Click on Server Settings below news.mozilla.org which will give you
another screen for NNTP server type. If it doesn't show NNTP I think
you need to start over and add a new account.
It is the Account Settings page for his news.mozilla.org account.
I only have that account here, no email accounts. The Outgoing Server
(SMTP): field shows "Use Default Server". That would be the NNTP server.
I have no SMTP server listed in Outgoing Server (SMTP) Settings.
The default server IS NOT the NNTP server. as you can see on my
screenshot "smtp.scarlet.be" is my default server.
And because you don't have any smtp server ...
...you are are to "Reply to Newsgroup" but not "Reply to the Sender Only"
... try it
I always use Followup, and proved you don't need a SMTP server for a
newsgroup account.
You can use whatever makes you happy. Enjoy!
All that is ok, fo me, I have all well understood.
I was just saying to rickman (who did not have any smtp server) that he
cannot do a
"Reply to the Sender Only" (this is what Chris Ilias have explained to me)
Not really correct. My default server is not NNTP. It is my email server.
This setting is only for sending an email reply which is usually of no value
because most people don't provide valid email addresses with their posts.
Hopefully we can put this thread to bed. It has gone far past its usefulness.
