Yes. vmailmgr can authenticate against both standard crypt and MD5
passwords, and writes out MD5 passwords by default. With MD5 passwords,
there is no limit on pass phrase length.

Right now, it only counts new and cur. Support for the entire maildir
is on the TODO.

Storing 50K users in one directory is possible but inadvisable.
Managing a CDB with 50K users could be time consuming (each modification
requires rewriting the CDB). vmailmgr has support for GDBM (and soon
*DBM) password tables, which reduces this problem.

vmailmgr has a directory hashing feature that can evenly distribute the
directories into multiple other directories, if enabled before the
accounts are created.
