Do you know what's involved in changing this on a live system ? I suspect that I'll have to re-compile exim and tpop3d etc.. I'll probably lose the user data too.. ?

I noticed..

I got this from MySQL by pasting in the logged query. I stoped the daemon, then re-started it with -log=mylog.txt, then when to re-authenticate with courier and got the query it was trying to execute. I then pasted that query into mysql and saw what it brought back.

I thought this too but noticed that example earlier on in this list that had clearpw after uid and gid. I will try the {md5} though.. 

Can anyone confirm the order of the fields ?

Thank's Again.
