Subject: Password encryption question

Hello all,

We would like to find out the password encryption/mangling routine for a 
legacy Windows app for which we would like to port the users to Linux.

The application is VopMail (a mail server, now abandonware). We want to 
migrate all user accounts/passwords to Linux Postfix/Courier. We're a 
small ISP and these are all our customers for which we also keep FTP 
passwords etc.

We could use a proxy and sniff POP3/IMAP sessions. Alternatively, we 
could inform all users that they have a new password which is less 
customer-friendly I believe. Ideal solution would be to find out the 
encryption or mangling routine.

Below I have included a sample of some records I created where VopMail 
has created the Password1 and Password2 fields. It seems quite weak to 
me and there are clear patterns in the Password1/Password2 fields. 
Similar plaintexts generate similar encrypted passwords.  However, this 
is how far I got :-)

I am not asking for the final solution, just some pointers into the 
right direction so I can try to reverse engineer the existing passwords 
and migrate them to our new platform.

Thanks a lot!

Cheers,

John
