According to my PC the email hadn't been sent so I tried it again. This time it just hung and timed out. Now I find it was sent twice. Computers ?

Same protocols - just different destination

How is NNTP the same as SMTP?

"TP"

can't believe you're nitpicking over just two letters difference... ;-)

Yeah. I expect the servers are connected with UTP and that they run NTP services as well.

Wrong.

Email = SMTP News = NNTP

It's not. But for most users the bit from you to your ISP doesn't run these protocols directly.

So does it get magically translated somewhere then? I look forward to your explanation.

Of course it does. SMTP between you and your mail server (i.e. you and your ISP). NNTP between you and your news provider (i.e. you and your ISP, or you and your news provider via your ISP).

For a few people it isn't quite as true, but that's the reverse of what you said.

They are different protocols, and one is used for mail and the oher is used for Usenet. They are not intrechageable and they are not translated along the way either.

If you have a newsreader and access a news server at your ISP or beyond, then the protocol for doing that is NNTP.

If you have a local news server, then NNTP is normally used between your client software and local server and between that and remote servers.

If you have email client software and don't run your own mail server locally, then typically your access uses POP3 (or possibly IMAP) to retrieve emails from the server and SMTP to send them.

If you run a local mail server, then access from your client software is as above, and SMTP is normally used between the local mail server and remote ones for delivery in each direction.

Web access to mail and news services at remote sites is by the normal protocols used for web access.

True, although there is some news software that will accept posts via email as long as some arcane naming is used.

I'll not complicate the discussion further by bringing up my use of NotesRPC for mail... oh, I just have. Oh well....

Yebbut that's proprietary :-)

Still.... where there's obfuscation there is usually a business opportunity.......
