I'm struggling to get OpenSMTPD working with DBMail. Seems I'm almost
there but not quite. Mail is arriving into my account, but I can't seem
to authenticate against the database due to authentication failures.

Currently DBMail is storing my password unencrypted, and it occurs to me
that perhaps OpenSMTPD is expecting an encrypted password from
query_credentials. Yes, I know this is a bad idea, and I fully intend to
fix it, but my intent was to minimize moving parts.

I found a link that seems to indicate query_credentials expects a
password returned in encrypt(3) format. Is this accurate?

If so, given this from DBMail's docs:

-p pwtype
Password type may be one of the following: plaintext, crypt, md5-hash,
md5-digest, crypt-raw, md5-hash-raw, md5-digest-raw, md5-base64,
md5-base64-raw.

Which should I use such that query_credentials returns what OpenSMTPD
expects?

Thanks, I'll move on to sharing configs if I'm on the wrong track with
the password format. I wanted to check that first.
