[Dovecot] "try MD5-CRYPT scheme instead"?

Fri Apr 16 11:30:05 EEST 2010

I'm getting a lot of entries like this in my log:

Apr 16 10:10:18 postamt dovecot: auth(default): shadow(doxxxris,141.42.206.38): CRYPT(wrongpassword) != '$1$qSe71xxx$09MoMqNyll.wPLCdSaFuA0', try MD5-CRYPT scheme instead

It seems that changing the password via SquirrelMail (poppasswd)
breaks the authentication scheme somewhat. Users cannot log in anymore.
