Hi Bron,

What is zlib used for in Cyrus? Is it actually used for mailbox 
compression or was it just a quick solution for adding a CRC32 
implementation?

If it is the latter, then it should be fairly easy to add a CRC32 
algorithm and remove that dependency. Do you have a preferred generator 
polynomial?


ATB,

Mark.
