Going through the source of qmail-remote.c for "DATA_COMPRESS" I found
the following:
#ifdef DATA_COMPRESS
else if (i+9 < smtptext.len && !case_diffb("DATAZ", 5,
smtptext.s+i+4))
When you talk to another smtp server and issue a "ehlo localhost"
command you get back a list of what the other server supports. If it
says "DATAZ" that means qmail-remote.c will use compression.
So try it out with some of your mail servers, telnet to port 25 and
issue that command.
