Hello, to save some precious space on my server, I wanted to enable zlib compression in dovecot. I followed these instructions:
https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib The relevant parts of my dovecot.conf protocol imap { # Support for dynamically loadable plugins. mail_plugins is a space separated # list of plugins to load. mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_zlib ... } plugin { # Used by both the Sieve plugin and the ManageSieve protocol sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve zlib_save_level = 6 # 1...9 zlib_save = gz # gz or bz2 } protocol lda { # Support for dynamically loadable plugins. mail_plugins is a space separated # list of plugins to load. mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve zlib mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules ... } doveconf -n showed no error, I restarted dovecot. Now when I receive a new mail, it is compressed - but it stays compressed :( Meaning: It arrives in Thunderbird, but it's not readable. If I look at the mail sources in Thunderbird, it looks like zlib compressed text... What have I missed? -- Markus Grunwald https://www.the-grue.de/~markus/markus_grunwald.gpg
