Postfix - mysql - encrypted passwords

Howdy

so i currently have a setup using mysql/postix/courier (both pop/imap ssl and nonssl versions) running.. but the tutorial that i could find, only describes havving the password in the database in plaintext.. for me thats a bit of a security flaw, as wel as tempting fate kinda thing.

thats what my setup is from.. anyone havve any idea how to convert it so that passwords are stored encrypted in the database, either using openssls md5, or mysql's md5, or mysqls encrypt method..

any method that works, would be great.

cheers

Nathan
