[Dovecot] Multiple password schemes

[Jan van den Berg]

CRYPT and MD5-CRYPT are compatible in pretty much all operating systems.
You could just make CRYPT your default password scheme and it'll work
for both.

I did not know that. But it works!

Cheers,

Jan

Another possibility is to prefix the passwords with {scheme} in the
password database.
