Re: Alpha release of Maia Mailguard 1.0.5

It seems that maiad and the rest of the perl code have aged very well, and
it was still running well on the latest Debian here. My only problem was
with the php part, and had to keep an older OS around for the web
interface. But that's sorted now, and I'm hoping the web interface also
runs well on the current FBSD now.

If need be, I'll set up a FreeBSD instance here to help with testing.
