Hi David,

I'm currently migrating from a /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow based configuration to a MySQL based one using dovecot 99.14 on debian sarge.
The problem is that the /etc/shadow containes both DES encoded (Crypt) and md5 based passwords. I've set the default system to be Crypt, and have added {MD5-CRYPT} in front of the md5 passwords in place of the $1$ header found in /etc/shadow. But I can only log in on accounts that have DES based passwords.
I've included my dovecot configuration, and below are 2 examples of encoded password, one crypt and one MD5: XalGYN3cy1crA
{MD5-CRYPT}RL$Bvv.TF2XJkyVI6JOUO8tx/
I think you should leave the $1$ header in place and handle them like any crypt password. The crypt format will be automaticaly detected. (At least this ist works for LDAP.)
