I'm enabling digest-md5 authentication with "[email protected]" username and plain-text passwords stored in a MySQL database. What should the password field contain in order to work with digest-md5? Would the following:

SELECT CONCAT('{digest-md5}', MD5(CONCAT(username, '::', password))) AS password ...

be correct?
Don't try to do anything special. Just:
SELECT username as user, password FROM ..

That's what I already have. It works for plain, login and cram-md5; however, but digest-md5 fails. Reading the wiki page[1] for digest- md5 says the [email protected] username format breaks because I'm not using realms. My options are either set auth_realms or store passwords using the DIGEST-MD5 scheme. I'm trying to do the later since I can't realistically set or maintain auth_realms.

So you're using Dovecot v1.0? I think issues related to this are fixed in v1.1 already.

Anyway that SELECT looks correct. Have you tested that it produces the exact same result as when running dovecotpw -s digest-md5? What does it log with auth_debug_passwords=yes?
