That's what I thought, thanks for confirming.

Excellent, now I just need to work out how to gzip emails when they are
larger than the file system block size of 4KB -- although I do wonder,
does dovecot provide clients with non-zipped data or can it benefit form
less traffic by providing zipped data over the transport?  (like how a
web browser might receive zipped content and unzip it to build the
webpage on the client).

Oh and the system_filter saves files directly to backup areas that are
not users on the system; so I have some work to do on that as well.

Thanks
