been there:
dsync -o plugin/zlib_save=gz backup -u testy
maildir:/srv/dovecot/testy/maildir.new

doesn't make a difference unfortunately.
My mailboxes are in maildir format and besides enabling zlib I do not
change the format.
My testmailbox has only one message but this still is uncompressed after dsync.

Where is Peer who wrote in his book that this should just work?


Thanks,
 Wolfgang
