Oh, that's disappointing.  How much effort would it be to get it working
on PHP 7?  If it's just a tiny bit of effort I'm willing to look at it.
If it's a lot, well....

Does anyone have any recommendations for an alternate solution?  I like
Maia's ability for me to "easily" go through my mail and train the
bayesian filters, examine my quarantine, and of course upload to SpamCop
etc when I have spam.  I don't think I really use razor/pyzor (but I
don't recall -- I might have set up one of them on my last system).

I feel that ClamAV, RBL, and sender-verify block the vast majority of
spam messages even before they get to maia.  I still get about 10 spam
(false negative) messages through a day (out of hundreds of real
emails).  And I get about 1-2 false-positives a week (real messages that
show up in the spam folder).

I'm wondering if the other features of maia are worth the hastle if I
have to spend lots of effort to get it to work?  Honestly I think the
only features maia provides that I don't get elsewhere is spambayes
training and quarantine analysis.
