[Dovecot] Trouble getting lda to gzip incomming mails (zlib plugin)

[Helge Milde]

Nope. It didn't change anything.

Tried delivering manually while tracing the process too, and the only mention of "zlib" is this:

open("/usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib20_zlib_plugin.so", O_RDONLY) = 9
read(9, "\177ELF\2\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0>\0\1\0\0\0\200\22\0\0\0\0\0\0@"..., 832) = 832
fstat(9, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=15080, ...}) = 0
mmap(NULL, 2110464, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_DENYWRITE, 9, 0) = 0x7f1407f1a000
mprotect(0x7f1407f1d000, 2097152, PROT_NONE) = 0
mmap(0x7f140811d000, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_DENYWRITE, 9, 0x3000) = 0x7f140811d000
close(9) = 0
