Thanks, Andy. Plain text password have been a part of qt for as long as
I've been using it. I understand you're concern. I'm not sure about the
password length issue, I don't remember ever changing (patching)
vpopmail like that, but I'll look into it.

I recently did the backup/restore and I have one hiccup to report.
A few of the account passwords did not work after backup from centos5
and restore to centos7.
Took some time to troubleshoot, but I poked around in the vpopmail
database and figured it out. It was due to the vpopmail database
schema, which stores a 16 character password AND its hash. It allowed
[and worked with] passwords longer than 16 characters (I'm unsure how).
But after the backup/restore, all passwords longer than 16 characters
failed. Problem was fixed by resetting all of these passwords to new
ones with the proper length. Luckily there were not many like this.
But for a large system, this could be a major pain.
This seems like a bug. If the max password length is 16 characters,
then the set-password webpage should reject passwords that are too long.
Also, I'm not sure why it stores a plaintext password in addition to its
hash. The modern standard is to store only the hash. This is
potentially a major security problem.

Eric,
Yes I did run that command.
At stage 3 after manually starting qmail at the end of qt-install.
Stage 3
rpm -Uvh

Eric,
Sorry I did not intend to email offlist.
I did a reply to sender not the list.
Apologies.
I have reset the VM to give me a blank minimal install again.
It has just finished qt-bootstrp-2 without error.
So far so good.
cheers.

Tony,
I think (not sure why) you're still using the wrong bootstrap
scripts, my bootstrap's (below in red and green) do not use
'mirrors.qmailtoaster.com' but 'mirror2.qmailtoaster.com'
Irritatingly, this is because all the mirror maintainers dropped
the ball and didn't bother to let anyone know that they weren't
supporting QMT anymore. If this is a pre-existing machine disable
the qmailtoaster-current repo:

Tony,
It is working, but...
I can tell by the download of
'qmailtoaster-release-2.0-1.qt.nodist.noarch.rpm' and the use of
'mirrors.qmailtoaster.com' in the scripts that you're not
following the correct instructions.
I'm not sure whether the qmailtoaster.com website (mirrored) has
completely propagated or not.
Go to qmailtoaster.org and follow the instructions there.

The download of the

List,
There were problems with the installation of QMT on CentOS 6
as you'all well know since I tested last November (2017). The
problems existed primarily due to mirrors not being
maintained. I've fixed these problems...hopefully. If anyone
has issue please let me know so that they can be fixed.
