Hi!
I am in the planning stage for an upgrade of my employers mail system.
In the backend I will be using dovecot which supports IMAP COMPRESS
<http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4978.txt>,
<http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Compress>.
In the frontend I would like to continue using perdition.
From the RfC I assume, perdition should cope with IMAP
COMPRESS, since
everything after a successful authentication is just passed
through.
From the RfC:
,----
| The following example illustrates how commands and responses are
| compressed during a simple login sequence:
|
| S: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 STARTTLS COMPRESS=DEFLATE]
| C: a starttls
| S: a OK TLS active
|
| From this point on, everything is encrypted.
|
| C: b login arnt tnra
| S: b OK Logged in as arnt
| C: c compress deflate
| S: d OK DEFLATE active
|
| From this point on, everything is compressed before being
| encrypted.
`----
Is my assumption correct that it is safe to use perdition in such a
setup? Or am I threading on thin ice here, bound for disaster?
Grüße,
Sven.
