I'm setting up email server for the first time and confused with strange thing.
I have several user accounts which stored in previous server. Passwords for this accounts are in plain text. But I want to create crypts for them. Mysql (where my users will be stored) have function encrypt(passwd, salt)
. If no salt given used random value. I discovered that courier uses one certain salt and crypted all passwords with it. So the task done.
But I'd like to know if there's a way to define my own salt for my pop3 server?
