 The SMTP module is designed to act as a front-end for a real SMTP server accepting messages and proxying them into a single SMTP server after performing classification.   This is for SMTP servers, not for sending outgoing mail.  Once enabled you may need to visit the Advanced page of the UI to set the chain port and chain server.

 The NNTP module acts as a proxy between your News client and News server performing classification on articles.  Currently it uses the same database as your mail which may be significantly different.  You may want to setup a seperate POPFile install to handle NNTP.

+    - if the nntp server does not require a username then use **''real.nntp.host:''** for the user name and a dummy (i.e. non-blank) password (the proxy will not send the dummy password to the nntp server and will report "authentication accepted" to the nntp client)
   - Check for articles, they should pull thru POPFile.
   - Use your nntp client's filter capability to detect either the modified header or the XPC header that POPFile adds.
