- You can do about 10..20% better by using freze instead of compress.
- The receiver for this would then be rfsmtp.

- One problem to watch out for is the first line of the data file: it should
- say "HELO host.do.main". Unfortunately, at least some smail3 vesrions seem
- to send "HELO <host.do.main>", which is wrong and confuses the receiving
