I _assume_ your meaning in saying "not working properly" is
that thruput can be sporadic, and with various length delays.
If so, I agree that is a problem at times ... and alas, one
that's not gonna get solved until the DDos attacks cease
or a sound, long-term way to defuse them is found.
But, "not working for a long time ... years" is flat out not
consistent with _my_ experience with 'xoxy.net'
Of late -- lets say, the last 15-20 DAYS -- I'm getting delays
in receiving msgs destined for 'xoxy', and some senders are
even reporting that they are getting "delivery delayed"
warning messages (especially "mail transaction failed during
initialization" when the msg is inbound to SG's mail handlers).
But, .... Other than that, 'xoxy.net' has generally
worked quite reasonably well for me for the year
or three I've had user-ids defined that I publish
with that suffix/domain.
Except lately, whenever I've experienced there is a slow
down with 'xoxy' it has been also the case no matter
which of the alternative names is used (spamgourmet.net/org,
antichef.com/net, neverbox.com, recursor.net, ...) -- that
is, all of SG is getting schmucked.
If, for some reason I cannot see/understand 'xoxy' is
now NFG but other SG domains are Ok, I'd sure like
to know about it!!
** Plz say more about EXACTLY why YOU are contending
that 'xoxy' _in_particular_ is broken or not working
Thanx
