<p>My /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-passwdfile.conf.ext is configured to
use MD5</p>

<p>/home/account/conf/mail/domain.com/passwd has a mixture of MD5
& SHA512-CRYPT:</p>
<blockquote><font size="2" face="Courier New">scanner:{MD5}$1$M5QuU7QI$AE7Nnorb8KC5KMvyYfVcr0:account:mail::/home/account:0:userdb_quota_rule=*:storage=0M</font><br>

<p>Everything is working fine, is this by design? In other words
does the {MD5} vs {SHA512-CRYPT} in passwd over-rule
auth-passwdfile.conf.ext ?<br>
