As part of the upgrade to vpopmail, we're considering removing clear
text passwords from the database. This will improve security, but at
the same time remove some (somewhat insecure) capabilitiy.
The biggest impact I think this will have is that admins will no
longer be able to look up someone's password. In the event that a user
loses their password, the administrator would reset the password to
something temporary, and the user would subsequently change it to
whatever they like. This is the practice followed in many (if not
most) other environments.
I use clear text password for:
- if my manager asked by his superior/co-manager to peek his
sub-ordinate email-account
- jabberd authentication by creating a view on vpopmail's table
