Here is proof that the Gentoo list server retries after ~8 minutes:

Mar 12 15:15:42 mx1 postfix/postscreen[27586]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT
from [208.92.234.80]:47590: 450 4.3.2 Service currently unavailable;
from=<gentoo-announce+bounces-2524-michael=orlitzky.com@lists.gentoo.org>,
to=<michael@orlitzky.com>, proto=ESMTP, helo=<lists.gentoo.org>

Mar 12 15:23:07 mx1 policyd-spf[20627]: prepend Received-SPF: Pass
(mailfrom) identity=mailfrom; client-ip=208.92.234.80;
helo=lists.gentoo.org; envelope-from
=gentoo-announce+bounces-2524-michael=orlitzky.com@lists.gentoo.org;
receiver=<UNKNOWN>

I'm not saying you're lying about what happened, but that the conclusion
you're drawing from it is premature. The Gentoo list server (and every
other real MTA) retries deliveries. If you lost a message, I'd bet
that's not the reason why.
