Sorry, i don't know if clients need to know anything about the used password scheme. The used password scheme is mostly relevant for Dovecot. Don't mix password scheme and authentication scheme.
So, since I use postfixadmin, I'm guessing that for #1, it will have to support encrypting them in bcrypt form, and then I have to worry about dovecot - and since I'm planning on using postfix+dovecot-sasl, once dovecot supports it, postfix will too...
Is that about right?
I think that's correct. Postfix uses Dovecot for the authentication stuff. If I'm wrong, please let me know it.
