Basic idea:
1) Adding a global option "tls_supported_compression" to select compression
protocols to be supported for incoming connections.
e.g.: "DEFLATE:NULL".
Default should be all std-protocols that the SSL-stack supports.
2) Adding an smtp transport option "tls_prefered_compression" which contains the
list of prefered compression protocols: E.g.:
"DEFLATE:NULL"
or
"NULL"
3) Extending the logfile to log the compression protocol:
E.g:
... X=TLS-1.0:RSA_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA:24
Any comments?
Hopefully my wife will give me some time this weekend :-)

Georg
