mail_account.pw encryption

[henzen]

Hello,

I know users.pw uses SHA2(), but what does mail_account.pw use? The password strings are much shorter.

We're working on automation/interfacing with OTRS, so would appreciate any pointers on what encryption algo the mail_account table is using on the pw column.

Thanks
Henry

There is no encryption of the password column in the table mail_account. OTRS needs them unencrypted to use them. Only reversible encryption could be possible. But this is not really secure.
