Note that in neither case does the password have anything directly to do with Postfix. For shell accounts, passwd(1) is the standard answer, and there are add-on services (e.g., mail/poppassd). For Courier databases, you may need something specific to Courier; is security/courierpassd relevant? -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/
