Additional Comments
Due to the fact that MDaemon stores the passwords in an encrypted
state the actual maximum length of a password is 15 characters. MDaemon
needs the remaining space to store the encrypted version of the
password since it can be up to 5 characters longer than the unencrypted
version.
It is possible to enter a plain unencrypted textual
value into the password field manually and have MDaemon automatically
encrypt it for you. This will aid in third party development of
userlist utilities since they will not have to worry about storing the
password in an encrypted state. To use this feature simply enter the
textual password into the password field and set the last two characters
of the password field (i.e.. positions 214 and 215) to a blank space
and a 'Y' character respectively. When MDaemon reads the userlist file
and encounters a password that has the last two characters arranged in
this fashion it assumes that the value present in the field is a plain
text entry that needs to be encrypted.
If an account is set to forward mail (i.e.. position 217 = 'Y') then
the forwarding address can be found in the FORWARD.DAT file under a
section name that is the same as the account’s EMAIL field.
If
encryption is being used (position 222 = 'Y') then only messages which
are smaller than or equal to 4096 bytes in length will be encrypted.
Messages larger than this will not be encrypted.
Do not make changes to the userlist.dat file without backing it up first.
