This is the *cdb* module, which means you have to edit all the vpasswd files
by hand.

Ok. Then we should probably add to the UPGRADE file that if you're using
cdb, then you should run a conversion script from the contrib directory if
you want to use clear passwords. I've found that running 'vmoduser -C ""
user@domain' will add the trailing : to the vpasswd entry. Here's a
possible script that could convert all the domains, like this:
#!/bin/bash
DOMAINSDIR="/home/vpopmail/domains"
VPOPMAILBIN="/home/vpopmail/bin"
for i in `ls $DOMAINSDIR` ; do
VPASSWD="$DOMAINSDIR/$i/vpasswd"
if [ -f "$VPASSWD" ] ; then
echo "converting $i ..."
for v in `cat $VPASSWD | awk -F: '{ print $1 }'` ; do
$VPOPMAILBIN/vmoduser -C "" $v@$i
done
fi
done
