Hi,
With Apache one may use "mod_deflate" in order to reduce bandwidth by using e.g. gzip to compress the http traffic. I would like to use something similar for email traffic between mail clients to dovecote and postfix. My questions are:
a) Is this established well enough in most mail clients? b) Can you recomment a good tutorial for this?
Thank you very much

Thank you for your quick feedback. I added it to my plugins in the config. How can I make sure my mailclients are using it? Is there a way to check this like I can check headers with additional Firefox plug-in you may recomment?
Kind regards Leander

I will be used automatically if the client supports it (and Dovecot is configured to enable compression).
You'd have to look at raw protocol data to determine whether it is being used or not. Like using a packet sniffer.
