Re: Alpha release of Maia Mailguard 1.0.5

Hi,

The idea to put the port in progress in a repo somewhere and link to 
that from the README makes the most sense.

I am one of those FreeBSD users, I actually saved a copy of the port 
before it was deleted and I'm still running the maiad part on recently 
updated modern FreeBSD 14 boxes!
