I don't really wish to add more "me too!" replies to this. But I am.
I use it to store my company mail as well, and truth be told the FreeBSD port, thanks feld@, has been one of the most reliable pieces of software I count on. Since I installed it, and have upgraded the port a few times, I have never lost mail, never had to do any pain in the ass upgrades/dumps/restores etc. It just runs quietly with Postfix and PostgreSQL to handle my incoming and outgoing company mail. And this year when I ran into the issue of PGP signature breakage a simple upgrade to the development version in FreeBSD fixed it with a simple install. No need to backup or restore anything. I can't say that about much software today. I think AOX is great software, it runs incredibly well, and Just Works(tm)! So I rely on it but I can see how a handful of maintainers may get burned out. You have all done a great job and written some great software. Just my two cents.
