The wonders of Linux setups :-;

Im a bit pissed off that this is happening because it might put you off
the best newsreader & email client in the history of the world.

Wish I could help more.

I had lots of issues initially when I set up slrn with leafnode but it
all "just worked" with gnus. Doh! Damn I said it :-;

Dont worry, someone will find the solution.
