You have to set the compression type with the zlib_save option.
i.e.: "-o plugin/zlib_save=gz"
been there: dsync -o plugin/zlib_save=gz backup -u testy maildir:/srv/dovecot/testy/maildir.new
doesn't make a difference unfortunately. My mailboxes are in maildir format and besides enabling zlib I do not change the format. My testmailbox has only one message but this still is uncompressed after dsync.
Where is Peer who wrote in his book that this should just work?
Maybe it's trying to copy the mails by hard linking instead of physically copying the data. See if -o maildir_copy_with_hardlinks=no helps?
