THE PROBLEMHowever, I've come up with a problem. Any time an account is created with the MD5 hash, e-mail and logging into e-mail directly works fine, but logging into the exim4u web portal does not so people are not able to manage their accounts via the web interface. It simply returns a login failed message.
Hi Torry, please have a look at my old post on this list from August 2014:

Michael, Your post is spot on to what the problem I'm running into is related to. Even in the newer source off of github that I was looking at it isn't resolved (and several other things are currently broken in that version, like no submit button on editing an existing account). -- though the old one does use MD5 passwords successfully.
I've modified the function as you suggested but login is still not functioning properly, tossing a login failure to any SHA512 accounts.
I'm still working on it but thought I would send a message thanking you for that guidance.
