As an aside, I see several other software projects now enabling the
compression option when establishing an SSL connection - any chance
you could look at enabling the relevant lines of code in Dovecot? We
had this conversation some months/years back and it appeared simple
on the dovecot side, but there is of course only still minimal client
support (but at least we can break the chicken-egg situation)
I remember it was a few weeks ago :)
Actually that ended up being mainly about the COMPRESS protocol
extension - that is interesting, but I personally doubt it offers much
extra over a simple outer layer protocol compression algorithm, eg
native SSL compression. (However, would settle for either/both...).
Some time back you suggested the SSL compression fix was a one liner on
the dovecot side though?
As an aside would it help to have some sample code for zlib? My problem
is I don't know where to add it for the COMPRESS protocol
implementation... Zlib itself is pretty straightforward though.
