I thought the default was supposed to be CRAM-MD5.  I don't find anywhere I have entered CRYPT.  There is one reference to it in auth-passwdfile.conf.ext, but changing that has no effect.  Is this a bug, change, or my mistake?  Thanks,

Looks like both doc.dovecot.org and man page are wrong, each in a different way. CRYPT is what is actually the default.
