The command I used was:

gnutls-cli --protocols NORMAL:+COMP-DEFLATE --insecure -p 993

I have tried the --comp option, but it always fails for me (ubuntu 8.04)

gnutls-cli (GnuTLS) 2.0.4

Redhat is 5.3
Freebsd is 6.3

And DEFLATE gives the exact same error? LZO isn't supported by OpenSSL.


   yes ... error from DEFLATE and LZO are exactly the same on
gnutls-cli output and maillog on the CentOS 5.3 box.

Well, not the same server but looks like this one works too:

gnutls-cli --priority NORMAL:+COMP-DEFLATE -p 993 secure.emailsrvr.com

And just for fun I tried imap.gmail.com, that didn't support
compression.


   i had tried imap.gmail.com too :)

   interesting findings ..... from CentOS 5.3, i cant get any
compression method to work:

[r...@correio dovecot]# gnutls-cli --insecure -p 993 -p 993
secure.emailsrvr.com --comp LZO DEFLATE NULL [ ......]
- Version: TLS 1.0
- Key Exchange: DHE RSA
- Cipher: AES 256 CBC
- MAC: SHA
- Compression: NULL

   but from a Fedora 8 box:

[r...@correio ~]# gnutls-cli --insecure -p 993 -p 993
secure.emailsrvr.com --comp LZO DEFLATE NULL
[ ......]
- Version: TLS 1.0
- Key Exchange: DHE RSA
- Cipher: AES 256 CBC
- MAC: SHA
- Compression: DEFLATE


   and Fedora 8 OpenSSL is even older than CentOS 5.3 one:

CentOS 5.3:
[r...@correio dovecot]# rpm -qi openssl
Name        : openssl                      Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version     : 0.9.8e                            Vendor: CentOS
Release     : 12.el5                        Build Date: Fri 04 Sep 2009
09:33:56 AM BRT

Fedora 8:
[r...@correio ~]# rpm -qi openssl
Name        : openssl                      Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version     : 0.9.8b                            Vendor: Fedora Project
Release     : 17.fc8                        Build Date: Mon 15 Oct 2007
07:56:22 PM BRST

   probably there's some build option on CentOS that is disabling
compression. If 0.9.8b on Fedora8 built in October/2007 can do it, so
0.9.8e on CentOS 5.3 built on September/2009 should be able to do it
too ....... oh boy, i really hate those weirds compilation options from
Redhat  .... :\
