MTA Password Encryption

[Compa]

Hi,

Does anyone know how mta encrypts passwords? I can't find anything about it on the forum.

I need to make the same encryption in PHP.

I'm pretty sure it uses MD5

MD5 is not a good idea for your needs, you should use the Sha256, that's as secure as they get. I hope MTA updates to sha256/

MTA now already use sha256.

Yes, sha256 more better than md5.

Is sha256 default for password encryption in future versions of MTA?

I'm currently using 1.3.1., my version is using md5.

Would it lead to problems if i update to 1.3.2? Am i getting a mix of password encryptions?

I'm not sure, but I think the MTA will update all the passwords to sha256 when you update your server version.
