Probably the reason authentication works was pure luck, the way Courier makes the crypt (3) call. The SHA512 based password hashing in my implementation is compatible to an extent with the MD5 based algorithm in wider circulation. Depending on exactly how Courier reads the password string and processes it through crypt (3) it could likely work without you ever intending for it to have done. Having it carry over to password changes, now, that requires some handling. I'd be willing to make the modifications and submit a patch if you'd be willing to point me to a starting point in the code. I could find it myself, but as the author if you told me where to look you'd shave a lot of time off the analysis and modification time. I'll probably go ahead and make the modifications and at least make the capability available through a private patch even if you aren't interested in having it in the mainline Courier distribution because I and some people I work with have a use for it. If you want to use it though, I'll do the work to add it and give it to you in the form of a patch. - -- Those of you who think they know everything are very annoying to those of us who actually do.
