Hi i want to migrate from dbmail to dovecot, the main problem is passwords. dbmail uses "md5-hash" wich crypt "111" to "$1$tZNR7pR4$jMuuKWm7ljRyL8iEMfjep.".

Tried all dovecot pass schemes thru dovecotpw and no one matches. The main question is how to migrate dbmail -> dovecot.

Hm, it's a simple md5 crypt hash, that stores it salt at the beginning of the hash. How to reproduce:

,--[ Python ]-- | In [29]: import crypt | In [30]: clear, salt = '111', '$1$tZNR7pR4$' | In [31]: crypt.crypt(clear, salt) | Out[31]: '$1$tZNR7pR4$jMuuKWm7ljRyL8iEMfjep.' `--
