2.3.x already does [1], but you have to use the dovecot:* encryption 
method, which calls the dovecotpw binary ("doveadm pw" for dovecot 2.x). 
This will work the same way in 3.0.

"system" uses crypt(), see http://php.net/crypt for details
(probably you don't want to use "system", but it has to stay for 
backward compability for people who actually use it)

I'm busy with several other things in PostfixAdmin and otherwise, and 
pacrypt() just works[tm] for nearly everybody, so it's not on my 
priority list ;-)

[1] The only exceptions are salted encryption methods. They don't work 
    with dovecot:* because it's impossible to tell dovecotpw which salt 
    to use when verifying a password. Well, strictly speaking you could
    use such passwords for mailboxes, but you can't login in 
    PostfixAdmin with them.

I think your cats need tuning - according to a couple of quick measure-

a correctly adjusted cat should be 12Hz +/-20%.          [Lionel Lauer]
