Summary: $CONF['encrypt'] refusing all dovecot methods

Initial Comment:
Forgotten quotes at line 1207 of functions.inc.php (pacrypt function) lead postfixadmin to die and display the "$CONF[encrypt] = dovecot:md5-crypt will not work because dovecotpw generates a random salt each time. Please use \$CONF[encrypt] = md5crypt instead." message.

Also, shouldn't there be quotes surrounding the "encrypt" in that message ?

Fixed file attached.

It doesn't work.

After a bit of tinkering, it appears that doveadm does a check on whether
it's stdin is a tty or not (It outputs "Fatal: stdin isn't a TTY")

Guess we can't fix this without "bigger changes". :(

Oh, nice - I like it when external programs come with incompatible changes
:-/ Well, at least it's a new major version ;-)

$CONF['dovecotpw'] = '/path/to/doveadm -pw' 
could work... (untested, feedback welcome)

If this works, I'll add a comment to config.inc.php in the 2.3 branch.
(I'd like to avoid a bigger change in this branch.)

Message:
Also, dovecot 2.0 (which is nearing release, see
http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot-news/2010-July/000162.html) will break this
setting, because dovecotpw has been removed and its functionality
integrated in doveadm.

So the command to encrypt a password goes from
dovecotpw -s 'CRYPT-METHOD' to
doveadm pw -s 'CRYPT-METHOD'

Maybe something to look into for 2.3.2 :D~

Thanks for the report!

Fixed in SVN r849 (2.3 branch), needs to be merged to trunk also.

Looks like we'll have to do a 2.3.2 release in some weeks ;-)
