But why to compile and install whole big and unstable JNOS or TNOS
on server side? We need just simple daemons to serve POP3 and SMTP for
us using new zlib compatible type of compression.
My sugesstion is to integrate new compression to with standard
POP3 server from IMAP package, by sending working patch to
authors of that program. This should solve problem for us in the
same way like in ax25 kernel support - it is always in kernel
and we don't need to care about it.
And for SMTP - we have two ways - do compression support for
sendmail, or other concurent SMTP daemon, like smail or qmail,
send it to authors and forget it.
What do you think about it ?
