We do not provide support for features not supported by DMS. Custom config with dovecot.cf
is supported and known to work.
Ensure you actually followed the troubleshooting guide docs, especially about how to restart DMS properly when updating config. Beyond that follow the advice on logging to provide more information and try look into using the doveconf
command within the container to see if your config was applied (if it was, you'll need to investigate why it's not having an effect).
Of course I have deleted the container before restarting. The configuration is included in doveconfig.
$ docker exec -ti mailserver doveconf | grep zlib
zlib_save = gz
zlib_save_level = 9
mail_plugins = " quota imap_quota zlib imap_zlib"
Since zlib is included in the mailserver image, I think this feature is supported by DMS. Unfortunately it does not seem to work. How can I debug why the emails are not compressed on saving. Are they delivered into the maildir by dovecot-lda or by postfix?

If it's not documented in our docs, it's not something we can offer support for.
You can try creating the project discussions page to ask the community there, but you'll most likely be troubleshooting on your own for some time.
Are they delivered into the maildir by dovecot-lda or by postfix?
With DMS Postfix is configured to deliver mail to Dovecot over LMTP. LDA is not used.
With DMS Postfix is configured to deliver mail to Dovecot over LMTP. LDA is not used.
That explains it. Compression can only work if dovecot-lda takes mail from Postfix and delivers it to a userβs mailbox (https://doc.dovecot.org/2.3/configuration_manual/protocols/lda/)
May I suggest to use dovecot-lda for delivery? That allows not only compression but improves mailbox indexing for faster notification, allows additional mailbox formats, sieve support, better quota enforcement etc. What was the reason not to use dovecot-lda? It seems to be recommended by dovecot.
π Preliminary Checks
π What Happened?
I have the following setting in
dovecot.cf
π Reproduction Steps
New mail that arrives in maildir is does not get compressed. These settings should save all new email compressed with gz.
