[courier-users] Migrating plain text to encrypted passwords

Hi all,

Because I wanted something that I could get working quickly, I've set my
Courier-IMAP/MTA server to use plain text passwords in the MySQL
database (with appropriate firewall rules in place to make it more
difficult for people to get to the passwords.
However, I'm interested in changing to using encrypted passwords - From
the outset I've had a field in the SQL database for encrypted passwords,
but never bothered to start using it.

My question has two parts:

a) What function does the authmysql module use to encrypt the password
that the client provides?
b) Is it just a matter of using something like phpmyadmin to dump the
clear passwords in to the encrypted password fields via the function in
answer a)?

Regards,
Tim Lyth
