same problems..

About the same here, tho I'd be willing to risk my mail server for
testing and such if it ment a stable driver...

Sadly, I'm with you on this one, or mark it 'UNSTABLE'..
(Its not EXPERIMENTAL, its perfectly tested and stress tested, it just
fails a few of them is bad ways, erm, that reminds me of windows)

Or, if its really really needed, and I can convince myself to risk it,
and I can find someone to help out*, I'd be willing to take a swing at
trying to fix it, at least a little..
