Until I tried to install it. The first thing I discovered was that at that moment it wasn't maintained for about a year. I probably should say "was no activity" on main maia project. Then I discovered excellent writeup of how to install mail server with maia being integral part - that was written by maia port maintainer. However, he is not who originally wrote maia. I must give him big credit for fixing things in maia in a course of maintaining that port. However, I didn't manage to make maia port work - as in my case I didn't want to follow all the decisions which are default for that port. Namely, I didn't want to have my mail users be kept in postgresql database... Anyway, whoever decides to follow it and use maia, beware to use port maintainer's howto (Find URL in port Makefile), or you may get into trouble down the road.
