[Dovecot] Compressing Maildir mails on delivery
Now supported by v2.0. Also as a patch to v1.2: http://dovecot.org/patches/1.2/zlib-compress.diff
I'm not really sure if I should commit it to v1.2 code tree. The code contains ugly copy&pasted io_stream_copy() and v1.2 is supposed to be feature complete..

Oh, and the patch requires latest v1.2 hg version with http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/c24a31b423ed (and http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/0454fde95cbf).
Hi Timo,
OK, patching is fine ... but how am i supposed to enable that ? is there some new config option, or applying the patch will automatically and irreversible enabling it ?
How to choose between gzip and bzip2 compression ?
is there anything special to configure on LDA protocol to get that working ?

In would sure like to see that feature in stable 1.2. It is optional and in a plugin, so quite unlikely to harm. And you could even require a configure flag for it.
If I could enable it per user, it would be perfect, but current is already nice to have. We have some customers who like to keep their mail data forever, and compressing on the fly would be much nicer than a nightly cron job. :)

But it also modifies existing zlib plugin code.
If I could enable it per user,
You can. You can override almost any setting by returning it from userdb.
