I'd look into the source code for vpopmail-toaster. I'm guessing that your answer would be in vadduser.c


By default they're not encoded, unless you changed that setting.

I think they're stored both encoded and in plain text by default. See results of /home/vpopmail/vuserinfo command. I'm not sure what the encoding mechanism is though, or exactly how it's used.


It will be the default hashing for mysql - I think I wrote something on this 2 years or so ago if you want to dig in the archives for it (not you Eric)
