So since it uses crypt, which isn't md5, there is no way for me to convert

as plain text, then convert them to whatever I need to, to operate with my
other systems? Or is there a patch to have vpopmail store them as md5's?
Right, crypt uses DES. I had that confused with MD5.
For the smtp auth, that requires MD5, we store the clear text password.
I'm not aware of anyone who's written code to use MD5 encrypted passwords.

Hi we are using vpopmail 5.4.6 with mysql for virtual domains. I was
trying
to look at the source for how the passwords are crypted, I'm new to this
but
it looked like they are encrypted (with salt) md5 hashes? I was
wondering
if there is anyway to convert them to a normal md5 digest for use in
other
programs?
It uses the standard unix crypt() function call.
Most systems now days use MD5 so the password should
start with a $1$
