Hello all,

We are attempting to move our ISP's mail system to courier and are having some
problems with authentication.  I have tried getting the authmysql module going
and have succeeded with plain text passwords and base-64 encoded MD5 hashes
(generated by userdbpw).  However, our entire user database currently stores
passwords using 32-digit hexadecimal, which I believe is not supported by the
authmysql module???

We have somewhere in the region of 70,000 mailboxes, so there is no way we can
get every user to reset their password in base-64 encoded format - and we do
not store clear text passwords anywhere.  Can anybody think of a way of
working-around this problem?  I have tried to get courier to use PAM
authentication and then use pam_mysql to authenticate - I haven't succeeded
here yet - and from what I read we wouldn't be able to return the maildir
directory to courier using this method either?

We are using Stable Debian Woody - Courier 1.4.3 etc.  If I build from source -
is there a way of getting around the base-64 vs. 32-digit hex MD5 issues?

Thanks,
Ray
