Hello,

are you somewhere plans for change in password policy in xmail? I mean
mainly two things:

1. Passwords in mailusers/ctrlaccounts are not encrypted (the algorithm =
used
is not encryption, only encoding with no security value).
2. Passwords in logs are in clear text.

My idea is to store only MD5 hash of password (maybe with some
server-defined salt) and in logs include only information if login was =
or
was not successful.

I know that correctly administered server should not give access to =
these
data for anyone, but good security precaution is to count with worst.

And I think that it would not be problem for implement. Although it =
would
require some changes in client components, if you would change store for
ctrlaccounts. But in general, I don't see any problems for mailusers.
