Re: maia mailguard 1.0.5 alpha - "current protection level"

OH, I just remembered last time I got maiad running on modern FreeBSD 14 
and perl 5.36, I ran into a complete showstopper with:

(maiad.conf)
# Message-ID cache ($enable_global_cache)
#   * Set to 1 to enable the Message-ID cache feature, 0 to disable
#   * Uses BerkeleyDB/libdb to store a temporary cache of Message-ID
#       headers, to avoid unnecessary scanning of duplicate messages.
#   * Mainly useful for sites hosting mailing lists
#   * Only used when $enable_db = 1

$enable_global_cache = 1;


Do not enable this. Your maiad will straight up deadlock. maiad is 100% 
trouble free otherwise so long as you leave BerkeleyDB out of it.

I wouldn't be surprised if using the default $enable_db = 1 also causes 
same deadlocking, but I haven't confirmed that. Answers from others 
basically said amavisd is interacting poorly with BerkeleyDB, just don't 
use it.

Maybe at least the default distributed maiad.conf should flip $enable_db 
and $enable_global_cache to 0.
