Yeah, maybe you're right....

I follow your advice, but courier-authlib only can use blowfish crypted
password if the users are in the passwd/shadow file. This is because
authpam use the PAM module, but in the case of authmysql, courier use
the definitions of the file checkpassword.c and checkpasswordmd5.c (only
md5_crypt and md5_hash_courier functions defined in the md5 directory).

I'm working in "quick&easy" integration of the xcrypt functions in my
courier-auth-lib installation. It will be a solution to my problem, but
could be a start point for the future integration in the package..

If somebody resolve this problem before, I'll be thankful if can share
the solution.

Thanks Jay Lee by your advice...
