Why not set up a compressed folder or partition on the storage drive(s)?
That would achieve what you want without having to modify Exim or
Courier, or anything else you might later want to have access to the files.
I know it's possible in Windoze, so I presume it's likely possible in *nix,
too. (i.e. please don't ask me HOW to do it, I'm just suggesting it as a
possible solution).
