Unless it's DNS caching waiting to expire, I don't see why it should
now.

Although, if I connect to mail.diypython.us:smtp it does take something
like 20s to respond:

  $ time echo -e "EHLO virgil.koldfront.dk\r\nQUIT\r\n" | nc mail.diypython.us smtp

I don't know how long the time out Gmane uses is, but 20s is quite long
for an MTA to respond; here is another mail server in comparison:

  $ time echo -e "EHLO virgil.koldfront.dk\r\nQUIT\r\n" | nc barracuda.supercp.com smtp
