Hi, I face similar problem, and got this following mail from mail archive. When i set a password of 8 chars, a superset of password containing more than 8 chars are allowed. Is there any configuration or patch that can come around this? Paul Culmsee wrote:

That's what MD5 passwords are for. Greater than 8 characters.
There is some MD5 code in vpopmail, but I never figured out
how to get it to work with all the passwords. Basicly,
replacing the crypt() function with MD5 functions. As long
as the MD5 is compatible with crypt() it should work.
