It would be great if Emacs (and Gnus) could do like Thunderbird 3.
Thunderbird uses a list of email provider configuration information
(Mozilla ISP database[1]) as well as well known hosts (and MX records
from DNS?).  E.g. for provider.tld it checks imap.provider.tld,
smtp.provider.tld, mail.provider.tld ...
