I just did a little more testing with my installation. (It's easy to make mistakes with long passwords.) I just found that I could use a full 40 characters for a password, which is the size I set for the character field in mysql. This works for dovecot and for smtp authentication, without code changes. This is a qmailtoaster installation from this past summer, so very recent (says Netqmail 1.06 in /var/qmail/doc/version) Dovecot 2.3.16
