Note: The NNTP authentication plugin has been removed in Moodle 3.4. It is still available from https://github.com/moodlehq/moodle-auth_nntp.

NNTP authentication uses the Usenet NNTP protocol to check for users accounts. This allows direct integration with technologies such as Microsoft Exchange, INN, DNews, Diablo, etc.
