The setup requires the Mail: (SMTP) Server. Is this for my mail account?

Yes.  Free Agent allows you to reply via email to messages.  So it needs to know
where to send email.

if so I'm assuming a Hotmail account won't work?

It won't if Hotmail doesn't allow you to send email via SMTP.

I checked on the Outlook Newreader, It doesn't ask for this but does ask for a
Reply Address which I'm not sure what to put.

That should be whatever address you want people to send private replies to.

BTW, be sure to look at "Setting Up a Newsreader" on this page:
<http://www.lugnet.com/news/>.

And set your From address to an address that is authorized to post to LUGNET.
