Do you understand the difference between server and client? Placing a
mail into the queue of an MTA is NOT the functionality of an MTA, but
of an MUA.

Why should every user specify an NNTP server?

You often have to use the SMTP server of your mail provider cause of
spam prevention, for example you cannot send emails frmom your MTA
using any email address below an3k.de or googlemail.com or other
domains cause those domains doesn't list your MTA as an allowed MTA
for that domain.
