Correct, the changes I made won't support crypted passwords with CRAM-MD5,
but I think the plugin can still be used in CRAM-MD5 mode with these mods.

No problem.  I'm running Gentoo Linux which installs vpopmail without
clear passwords by default, so I thought I would post these changes for
other users out who are also using crypted passwords in the database. 
Thanks for these plugins - good stuff!
