Well, I don't know what tool you're using to look in 'poppasswd' file anyway
- qmail doesn't come with a password checker, you have to install a separate
module.
However Courier does contain a module called 'userdb' which is a file of
key=value pairs. You could write a script to extract usernames / passwords /
home directories from poppasswd, and repopulate userdb with them.
Try 'man 8 makeuserdb' and 'man 8 userdb'
If they don't work, go into the source distribution directory and do
cd userdb
nroff -mandoc makeuserdb.8.in | less
Regards,
Brian.
