My postfixadmin is configured to use md5crypt passwords for user passwords. If I use the MySQL client to manually add a user in the postfix.mailbox table, is there a way for me to encrypt the password like postfixadmin does? The MySQL function md5() generates passwords that are 2 characters shorter than the postfixadmin encrypted passwords and they don't work for me.
Sorry Larry, I've tried several attempts to do this but there is some magic crypt function enabling this. Why would you want to do this in this manner? Otherwise create the account and change the passwordwith postfixadmin. Or create your own PHP page for adding users and copy the password generating part from the postfixadmin code.

My PHP/postfixadmin is still messed up. I downgraded to PHP 5.2.8 and the errors about deprecated functions went away, but I got a new error about zend mm heap errors. I wanted to add a new user without waiting to get this figured out.
