The news transport mechanism is the code which receives, process, and
forwards netnews.  The news readers (and news posters) allow human users
to interact with the news database built by the transport.  The news
transports themselves interact with underlying communications code,
commonly either NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol) or UUCP.

Expiration is typically handled by the transport mechanism.
