I couldn't connect to the server, because Gnus couldn't resolve their names. Now I'm seeing the same problem when exiting a gmane group and trying to report spam in that group: Gnus can't find spam.gmane.org, which is perfectly pingable from a shell. The NNTP problem was most probably caused by libc caching the DNS server to use for a process, so that gethostbyname() would issue calls to a DNS server that was no longer available. I got around this problem by wrapping the NNTP connections in telnet sessions (new telnet processes would get the current DNS server). Is it possible to do something similar with the gmane spam reporting? Either wrap the HTTP requests done from Emacs in a telnet, or use curl or wget, or something?
