tin newsreader (with remove NNTP server)

I'm trying tin as a replacement of slrn.
When I start it, I get a:

Can't get a (fully-qualified) domain-name!

and after, when I try to post, I get

*** Posting not allowed ***

Someone told me to create a file named tin.defaults, containing disable_sender=ON, and put in into /etc.
It doesn't work. I tried putting it everywhere ( /etc, /etc/tin, /etc/.tin, ~/.tin).

Any hint?
