To get connected to any newsgroup, a user needs to configure the software to read and post to the
newsgroups provided by the ISP.
Requirement for Connecting to a Newsgroup
There are mainly two requirements for connecting to a newsgroup that are:
Software Requirements: To connect to a newsgroup, the user needs a newsgroup client.
Service Requirements: To receive messages from a Newsgroup, the user has to connect to a Newsgroup
server. Many ISPs run their own Newsgroup server (apart from being connected to Internet).
e-Mail
Electronic mail is a mailing service provided by the Internet by which one can send messages to any
person around the world through computer. It has become the fastest, easiest and cheapest means of
communication for business, governance, administration, education, tourism, etc.
An individual who avails the services of Internet, must have a unique e-mail address i.e., (e-mail ID) by
which and to which messages are sent and received and that can be accessed from anywhere at any point
of time, with Internet connectivity.
Mails are received in mailbox of an e-mail recipient. No two mail IDs can be identical. For example, a
typical e-mail address would look like: editorial@orangeducation.in
Generally, there are two parts of an e-mail address: i.e., the login identity and identity of the e-mail server,
both of which are separated by @ (at the rate) symbol.
