Hi,

Yes, sorry for the delay responding here. I currently use maildrop to
connect to the aiaiai LDA. I have not responded much here because I've
actually been able to leave aiaiai running without manual intervention
for several months now. (yay!)

If you need, I can go into a bit more detail about the setup I use.

Thanks,
Jake
