Hi,

I don't think you understand how the authentication library works. You should download courier-authlib, and read the enclosed documentation, rather than simply having me retype everything here.

ok, i probably don't understand how the auth library works (i've read the docs, but it's not very applicable to my situation). the thing is i need programs other than courier to be able to read the passwords from my sql table (e.g., my mta and squirrelmail). is there any reasonable way to unencrpyt the passwords or work around this? or should i just go ahead and tell everyone they need new passwords?

Cameron,

We have the same issue here, while moving accounts from LDAP to PostgreSQL, then locally generate userdb files on our mailservers.

My first idea is to retrive actual password from authlib, as you can activate debug level3 where you can see password in logfile.

Activate this one month or so and you will get 99% of the passwords you need.

After this, you can make what you want with clear text password.

Hope this help
