Fabian,
The field in the domain table for password is 16 characters long.
MariaDB [vpopmail]> describe mydomain.tld
+-----------------+-----------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-----------------+-----------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| pw_name | char(32) | NO | PRI | NULL | |
| pw_passwd | char(40) | YES | | NULL | |
| pw_uid | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |
| pw_gid | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |
| pw_gecos | char(48) | YES | | NULL | |
| pw_dir | char(160) | YES | | NULL | |
| pw_shell | char(20) | YES | | NULL | |
| pw_clear_passwd | char(16) | YES | | NULL | |
+-----------------+-----------+------+-----+---------+-------+
vadddomain creates the table structure. Not sure how altering the
columns pw_passwd/pw_clear_passwd to more characters (after the fact)
would play out. I suppose you could give it a try.

question,
interesting issue; when i create a new user, whether it be via
vadduser or in qmailadmin, i may spec a 39 character password for
example but it winds up being saved in a truncated form, down to only
the first 16 characters.
a.) is this normal
b.) why no warning from vadduser or qmailadmin?
c.) can this limit be expanded?
not that 16 chars is bad but i believe in very strong passwords.
thanks.
