OK. I'm going to configure this on evolution. I gave USENET as server
type. But what should I give for the server name?

Thank you very much.

Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) may provide an NNTP server (check
the support section of your ISP's web-pages for info).

If your ISP doesn't provide one, you can buy service from a commercial
provider or you can use one of the free providers. Try googling for
"free nntp" and other combinations to see if there is one in your region.
