Timo Sirainen:
If the password is the same in both cases, you can simply use a single
CRAM-MD5 scheme. Dovecot can do plaintext authentication against all
schemes just fine.
Actually I happen not to understand the above :-( I thought PLAIN is a
plaintext schema while CRAM-MD5 is non-plaintext schema and it's
impossible to have the same password in mixed schemas stored in one
database used for different authentication mechanisms (i.e. PLAIN and
CRAM-MD5). Moreover there is no fallback using mechanism other than
PLAIN. What am I missing here?
Yes, the password is the same in both cases, but it is stored twice: as
a MD5 hash and as a CRAM-MD5 hash.
