I'm not a slrn user however have you checked for the file
/etc/nntpserver or see that you have set the variable NNTPSERVER
in one of your startup files ?

Remember SANE is in constant development and I see it supports the
tamarack so I suggest you subscribe to the sane mailing list and ask
your specific questions there, you will get a much better response.
