fundamentally not compressible, that's the whole point.
We are way off topic...
Back to the original question - discount SSH - how do we get compression
+ SSL out of openssl..

- 32bit server ID (configurable? based on IPv4 address? 48bit MAC
address by reducing PID/timestamp by 16bits? is exposing these to a
normal user a security problem?)
If in doubt MD5 the information and pick some bits from the MD5 hash
commands to download an email and to delete an
email. So if you tick this option in your email program basically it
just does the download commands and forgets to do the delete commands
at the end of the session.

they go ashore they should still be able to see
the same mail in their inbox back on the server onshore (or they move to
another ship then we sync their mailbox across)
Any comments?

as a
spam sender when you hit spam traps...
Just don't accept mail into postfix that you don't want to have to deal
with later... Kill it right at the front door and reject it and then it
becomes the upstream server's problem to deal with...
Good luck

Hi
I wasn't smart enough to figure out a clean way to carry a file suffix
through a copy, so I changed how the zlib-plugin detects if a message
is compressed. This patch peeks at the first two bytes of the message
looking for the zlib header.
This is actually an even more robust solution
your money and takes your choice I guess... Suits my needs though
(I often need new features and up to date software)

in on the correct server already then
proxying is automatically disabled (ie you can have a bunch of backend
machines all pretending to be frontend machines and it all just works)

for a while.
Be sure that it's not just a memory leak in Thunderbird though. I find
TB can gobble memory in some situations... you notice that it grinds
the HD like crazy for example..

Hi Guys,
This has bitten us twice now. We're running Gentoo and emerge (ie
compile) a new version of Dovecot thinking we can finish that then
restart Dovecot in our own time.
It seems that Dovecot immediately starts to use the newly compiled
Dovecot binary and we get
client's 'Compact Folder'
on the entire tree of maildirs under each /home/(user)?
Deleted items gets a flag against them (look at the name). You could
use the find command to locate all such deleted items and purge them..?

the networks won't react and help, lets get something in no matter how

I believe that was one of the things to note for an upgrade - check the

Hi
Any opinions on a preferred namespace setting for use with Dovecot?
Deciding factors seem to be client support, not being too unusual,
accidental ease of setup, wider character range support (eg dots in

this what cyrus does?)

One example is an email which says:
