What's the word on how passwords need to be encoded? (Just for posterity)

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Bulk user import script works
The bulk user script does run as expected. My problem was that the original
script used $PASS, and the modified script uses $PASSWORD. I only made
modifications in my existing script instead of copying and pasting the entire
file in. So, here is the add bulk users script that does work importing users
and passwords in case someone else would like to use it. It's the same one
posted earlier. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks PakOgah for making the changes.
