I have noticed that when logging into Courier IMAP that it ignores password characters past 8. For example, if my password was "123456789" I could login with "1234567890". Also, if my password was "1234567890" I could login with "123456789" or "123456789X". Is this normal behavior? I searched around on Google and found nothing in previous posts that suggest this is normal, but maybe I missed something.
Traditional UNIX system passwords are eight characters, or less. Excess characters are ignored.
Newer password mechanisms, such as MD5-hashes passwords in Linux, support longer passwords.
You did not say which authentication modules you're using. You're probably using one of the system password modules, meaning that you're pretty much using system passwords.
If you're using userdb, use the -md5 option to userdbpw to generate MD5-hashed passwords, which supports longer passwords.
