Brian, I haven't seen you since the usr-tch days...

This should "just work"; vpopmail uses the system crypt library, so if you
bring your existing passwords in, they should work.  As people change
their passwords on the new setup, they should end up as md5 (unless your
crypt library is configured to do otherwise, not sure how that's handled
on linux).
