The server seems fine when connecting directly as well.

fowlmouth:~> openssl s_client -connect nntp.aioe.org:nntps

Works for me (slrn 1.0.3 on FreeBSD):
  fowlmouth:~> slrn -h snews://nntp.aioe.org
  slrn 1.0.3
  Loading /usr/local/share/slrn/slang/slrn.sl

  Reading startup file /home/johans/.secure/slrn.

  Connecting to host nntp.aioe.org ...
  Connected to host.  Posting ok.

So the server seems fine and I expect there is some issue at the client
side. The debug log might help indeed.

Best regards,
Johan
